I’m excited to be joining a company with as much positive momentum as Rogers Sportsnet. They have a strong creative vision for all their platforms and I am thrilled to be part of all of them.

A Rouge Point 
Marek also wants to get into the MMA side of things at SportsNet.
This probably negatively affects his appearances on Puck Daddy radio. That’s unfortunate.
