PDA : Jim Van Horn on NHL Network instead of major network? redskull 2007-01-19, 11:38 PM Why is he hosting NHL on the Fly on the NHL Network? I thought he signed with Sportsnet a year or so ago. It was a big deal for them. Isn't NHL on the Fly kinda bush league for a guy of his stature? hawkeye19 2007-01-20, 12:21 AM He was pushed off the air several months ago at Sportsnet and reduced to doing voice-over promos. Eventually he either quit or was fired. JohnnyCanuck 2007-01-20, 02:00 AM He was fired. More Sportsnet idiocy. Dean W 2007-01-20, 02:01 PM He had signed with SportsNet about 3-5 years ago. MobileMuck 2007-01-20, 05:40 PM I'm sure "a guy of his stature" might also appreciate you spelling his name right, too. Indignities all over the place for him, it would seem... redskull 2007-01-20, 06:10 PM So whats the correct spelling smart guy? MobileMuck 2007-01-20, 06:39 PM Van Horne dsouth 2007-01-21, 10:57 PM Just a comment from a network cameraman who has had the pleasure to work with Jim Van Horne more than several times over the years. There is no equal in the terms of "class and courtesy" as far I'm concerned, I have never worked with a more considerate and professional talent than Jim. I'm saddened to hear that he has moved on (perhaps against his wishes).
