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.
