Blake Price was born in Winnipeg and raised a Jets fan (which explains a lot), but after spending 13 of the last 17 years in Vancouver (and losing the Jets), he now considers the Canucks his hometown team.   TEAM 1040 is Blake's second tour of duty in talk radio, after spending nearly 3 years at the defunct MOJO Sports Radio.  Before that, he spent a downright chilly winter working on TV in Saskatoon, a year on Sportspage in Vancouver, and then 3 years in Toronto working for TSN. And he continues to spout off on TV, working with CTV Sports and TSN. After spending a few years as host of the mid-day show on TEAM 1040, Blake now returns to the evening time slot as the permanent Pre & Post Game Show host during the Vancouver Canucks broacasts, as well as evening show host from 6pm-10pm on non-Canucks game nights.

Blake will continue to be joined by ex-NHLer & new Vancouver Canucks color analyst Dave Tomlinson in the evenings.

From North Vancouver to the NHL, Dave Tomlinson’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. Despite loosing a few teeth, wrecking a shoulder and twisting a wrist beyond repair, Dave gained so much more, that it was worth every bump along the way. Following his hockey career, Dave became a regular contributor on TEAM 1040, and joined Blake Price daily for two hours during his show. In September 2010, Dave will also step in to fill the shoes of longtime Vancouver Canucks color analyst Tom Larschied, joining John Shorthouse in the booth for the 2010/11 NHL season.
