TORONTO – Andi Petrillo and Cassie Campbell-Pascall will lead the “Hockey Night in Canada” broadcast team in its first year covering the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
CBC announced the broadcast team Thursday in advance of the upcoming PWHL season.
“Hockey Night in Canada” announced its partnership with the PWHL on Sept. 28, months after a National Hockey League sublicensing agreement with Rogers Communications was not renewed.
The CBC had broadcast “Hockey Night in Canada” games since 1936, first on radio and then on television beginning in 1952.
Petrillo will host the studio coverage. The veteran broadcaster was the first woman to join the “Hockey Night in Canada” studio team full-time in 2011-12. She is a three-time Canadian Screen Award winner for best sports host and was the first woman to receive the George Gross-Don Goodwin Award, which honours career achievements in sports broadcasting.
Campbell-Pascall will join the team as a panellist along with Hailey Salvian, a senior writer with The Athletic.
After a standout career in which she captained Canada to two Olympic gold medals, Campbell-Pascall became the first woman to provide colour commentary on “Hockey Night in Canada” in 2006.
Daniella Ponticelli will handle play-by-play duties, with three-time Olympic gold medallist Becky Kellar providing analysis and Rob Pizzo reporting from rinkside.
“Hockey Night in Canada” will feature its first PWHL game Dec. 5 when the expansion Hamilton Havoc take on the defending champion Montréal Victoire.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 12, 2026.
