Mr. Najak takes over the 55-year-old show as Bob Cole and Harry Neale are nearing the end of their run as the lead play-by-play team. Announcer Jim Hughson, and Craig Simpson, an Edmonton Oilers assistant coach who was hired during the summer, will call many of the big games this season.

Harry Neale talks a very good game. In addition to being a game analyst on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, Neale was also the hockey analyst for CBC's coverage of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City and the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano.
Neale's broadcasting style is a rare mixture of insight, subtle humor and the knack of knowing when to let the on-ice action speak for itself. While TV audiences are watching the stars and the big plays, Neale digs deeper.
As a former NHL coach and general manager, Neale offers viewers an insider's knowledge of the game and hunts for the little things that happen—which may have a bigger impact than the viewer realizes.
Teamed with master play-by-play commentator Bob Cole since 1985, Neale continues to uncover the keys to why some teams win championships and others only come close.
Neale lives in East Amherst, New York, with his wife and their three teenaged children.
maybe the Sabres should ask him if he'll do the color commentary.
