At one time just like many broadcasters were once back in the day, Brian Engblom was on the ice playing for an NHL team. He endured the ups and downs of the season and knows exactly what it feels like to play 82 games in six months. He knows what it means to win Lord Stanley’s Cup (three times for a matter of fact) and has much knowledge about the game of hockey. Now, Brian Engblom brings that knowledge to the broadcast booth as the new color analyst for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Engblom started his NHL career with the Montreal Canadians after being selected 22nd overall by the team in the 1975 NHL Entry Draft.
