Breaking news in Oil Country as beloved colour commentator Jack Micheals is set to appear on more nationally televised broadcasts this season.

According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, According to a rumour circulating online from an Oilers fan, the team's ownership is pushing for Jack Michaels to be on playoff games and national broadcasts.

Currently, Harnaryan Singh is the national broadcaster for the Edmonton Oilers, but fans for a long time have been clamouring for Jack Michaels on the biggest stage. Singh is a great broadcaster on his own, but Michaels has a deep connection with fans that's fitting for the biggest games. Sportsnet officially announced the Oilers regional broadcast crew last week.

Many Oilers enthusiasts will remember when Jack Micheals got his well earned promotion to broadcast hockey games on Sportsnet. Although he did a great job his first few seasons on TV, he wasn't the rambunctious personality fans remembered on the radio.

After a few seasons of earning his stripes, he settled in to the job, and the old Jack Micheals fans loved to hear on the radio slowly started to come out on television.

I think its safe to say that Jack Micheals has become an NHL favourite on television. He provides fans an electrifying experience that makes hockey games far more compelling to watch. Oilers fans are hoping that Micheals will have more opportunities to call playoff games as his career continues to flourish.

According to McCormick, that just might be the case!

It would be great to hear that Oilers ownership is listening to fans and taking action on their suggestions. Oilers fans have petitioned Sportsnet for years to get Michaels into the playoffs, and if it got a boost from Oilers ownership, it seems like the petitions may finally have worked.
