Eddie Olczyk Steps Down as Kraken TV Analyst

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Seattle Kraken TV analyst Eddie Olczyk is leaving his role after four seasons to spend more time with family and focus on national NHL broadcasts for TNT.

After four seasons serving as a TV analyst for the Seattle Kraken, Eddie Olczyk is stepping away from the position. Both Olczyk and the NHL team announced Tuesday that the former NHL star and longtime broadcaster will be leaving his role with the Kraken Hockey Network.

The primary reason for Olczyk’s departure is to allow him more time with his family in Chicago and to pursue a less demanding schedule. He will continue calling NHL games for TNT, according to the announcement.

Olczyk joined the Kraken broadcast team ahead of their inaugural season in 2021-22, providing analysis and commentary for the team’s games. The specifics of who will replace him as the TV analyst have not been announced.
