Up-and-coming Winnipeg broadcaster Rory McGouran has been hired by CHBO Bolt FM to call the Humboldt Broncos games this season.

McGouran will be taking over for the late Tyler Bieber, who was killed along with 15 others in last April’s Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan.

After the crash, Saskatoon radio broadcaster Les Lazaruk suggested online that other broadcasters step up and call games this season.

Bolt FM program director Sarah Miller said the logistics were too difficult.
