Information About

Hockey Central




The typical format of Hockey Central's segments during Sportsnet Connected and the Saturday show is a four-person panel of former NHL players, coaches, and GMs alongside hockey reporters and broadcasters. The members of the panel vary from day to day, but are usually from the same small pool of regulars. The show is known for (and often promotes) its sometimes fiery debates between Bill Watters and Nick Kypreos .

In the summer of 2006 , host Darren Dreger left Rogers Sportsnet to join TSN . Daren Millard is the current host of both the Hockey Central at Noon edition and most of the Hockey Central segments appearing on Rogers Sportsnet. Those segments not hosted by Millard are hosted by Rob Faulds .


HOCKEY CENTRAL AT NOON


Hockey Central at Noon is hosted by Daren Millard and features either Nick Kypreos or Bill Berg as co-host. It is simulcast on ''Rogers Sportsnet Ontario'' and The Fan 590 each weekday, the television broadcast simply being multiple angle shots of the hosts in the radio studio, similar to Prime Time Sports . Daren Millard's personality is noticeably more casual in the Hockey Central at Noon show in comparison to the TV-only shows, as he often makes jabs at his co-hosts' NHL careers. When Millard is unable to host Hockey Central at Noon, Doug Farraway serves as fill-in host. During the summer (from mid-June until September), Farraway takes over the hosting duties from Millard, with Howard Berger serving as fill-in for Farraway.
