Inside the NHL Broadcast Battle: Which 2025 Coverage Fans Can’t Stop Watching?
24. Anaheim Ducks
The Broadcast: Victory+ carries Ducks games, with John Ahlers doing play-by-play and Brian Hayward doing color.
Local score: 4.39 (22nd)
National score: 2.66 (29th)
Last season rank: 23
The results: Anaheim’s broadcast shot up eight spots last season and has largely maintained those gains this year.
The Ducks’ broadcast shifted away from Bally to Victory+, where regional fans could stream games for free. That’s been a nice, well-received touch.
In the booth, there are still some gripes. Hayward is a bit polarizing among fans and the broadcast’s lack of innovation when it comes to incorporating analytics gives the show a bit of an outdated feel.
