Rick Ball was the best on team 1040 in Vancouver back in the day..he was hilarious hosting his own show. Miss having him on the air here. Good luck in Chicago Rick!
As a flames fan, the best thing about a new season was hearing Rick for the first time each year. I wish him the best and know for sure that hawks fans will love him.
Gonna be great having a solid broadcast team this upcoming season! And with the way the team is starting to shape up after today, I'm super excited to see the new lineups! Bedard with Teravainen will be craaazy
Great addition to the Blackhawks family! Im happy the Hawks deemed it very important to get this move right along with the on ice moves theyve made. Welcome to Chicago Rick! Cant wait for the broadcasts with you and Panger!!! Great stuff on the way!
Everything seems to be looking up for the Hawks, same amazing GM and coach, a bunch of new guys on the ice that looks super exiting, and now Rick and Darren at the microphones. Sounds like a recipe for success!
Beautiful!! Last year in particular was sooo hard to listen to. This pairing will be 100x better. Last year, mostly felt like guys talking from their garage.
Anything is better than vosters. This should be more fun all around. It’ll be fun having a PbP announcer actually calling the plays and not just saying last names

Looking forward to the broadcasts, welcome to Chicago Rick Ball!
Enjoy him Hawks fans. He’s the best. Will miss him in Calgary
So glad to have rick. As a Canadian Hawks fan i always loved watching them against Flames because of Rick.
Rick is a stud, he used to be a radio guy in Vancouver, he is funny, classy, so happy for him, you've gotta great one there.

And YES, Brian Couling was an amazing man in our childhood. LOVE that you mentioned him.

Best signing in years! The broadcast has been pure garbage since pat and Eddie left.

i want him back :(
Will miss you bud. Flames fan and really enjoyed the way you called the game. Calls a game fair no bias unlike Cole lol. Cole was Eastern boy.
Genuine and great at play by play... Will miss him here in Calgary. 👋👍🏒🏒🥅

This years best free agency signing is Rick Ball
Worst video chapter titles ever - who wrote those? "Darren McCartty" instead of Darren Pang, "Pat Quinn" instead of "Pat Foley", etc. So weird!
Since losing Pat to the unhinged management of the Hawks, we got 2nd best.
It was nice to see Colby Cohen leave and equally as nice to see the evolving caveman Vosters say bye-bye, unprofessional and unable to find a barber.
