FLYERS HIRE VERDE, EXPAND GMHL TV COVERAGE

 

THORNHILL — The Toronto Flyers begin their 2025-26 season on home ice this Saturday, and fans will immediately notice improvements to both the team's broadcast and in-arena experience at Paramount Ice following the addition of veteran broadcaster Carlos Verde to the team's front office.

Beyond serving as the new play-by-play voice of the Flyers, Verde will anchor the team's expanded GMHL TV coverage featuring the new Lunasun Homes Pre-Game Show and Flyers After the Horn, presented by Melissa Hull Real Estate.

"I'm honoured to work for a great ownership group, and look forward to telling the story of this year's edition of the Flyers," said Verde, who brings nearly a decade of experience calling hockey in the OHL, NCAA and various junior leagues in his native Ottawa. "Fans will be able to take pride in the first-rate coverage we have planned for all 20 home games at Paramount Ice."

In addition to the expanded broadcast package, the Flyers will be offering in-arena programs with gameday information this season — and will be making their all-new media guide available online. The broadcast and arena program enhancements are the latest round of improvements under Toronto owners Paul DiRisio and Melissa Hull, who remain committed to elevating the Flyers' brand in the community.

Puck drop Saturday against the Niagara Predators is slated for 7:45 p.m., with the Lunasun Homes Pre-Game Show live from 7:30 p.m.
