Former Chicago Blackhawk Eddie Olczyk (pictured left with Dave Kaplan) is joining ESPN1000 Chicago starting this week. Olczyk will co-host twice a week, Mondays and Fridays, alongside David Kaplan from 9 a.m. to noon. Olczyk will continue his work for NBC Sports, covering the NHL and horse racing, and locally for the Blackhawks on NBC Sports Chicago and WGN-TV.
Station GM Jim Pastor said, “What fans may not realize is that Eddie is not only a legendary hockey and horse racing broadcaster, but having grown up here, he’s also a huge fan of all Chicago sports teams. Pairing him twice a week with his good friend David Kaplan will give him a chance to put those passions on display for ESPN listeners.”
