Alright, for the final time for the next few months, our readers have voted, I’ve tallied those votes, and we have a new set of fan-generated announcer rankings. Today’s ranking covers the local NHL broadcasters for the 2019-20 season, and we had just over 14,000 votes submitted in total, coming out to an average of more than 460 per team.

If I missed listing an analyst or used an unflattering screengrab, I apologize. I especially apologize for any errors with the Canadian broadcasters, because man oh man those teams were difficult to compile and screengrab.
