Dave Tomlinson

DAVE TOMLINSON
Color Commentator
From North Vancouver to the NHL, Dave’s 15 year pro career had it all. With the Toronto Maple Leafs and Grant Fuhr’s bruises, to the Winnipeg Jets and Teemu Selanne’s goals, to the Florida Panthers and Ed Jovanovski’s hits…Dave played with and against the greats in the sport. Ten years of pro hockey in Europe also gave Dave another perspective on the game, and appearances with Team Canada made him proud to wear the flag.  With a year already under his belt in the Canucks broadcast booth, Dave is once again excited to continue adding analysis and insight into every Canucks game in anticipation of another trip to the Finals.
