"MSG Networks t will feature a new look in the New York Islanders' broadcast booth this season, with Thomas Hickey set to work the majority of games as an analyst alongside play-by-play voice Brendan Burke, a source confirmed to via media columnist Neil Best on Friday. Hickey, 36, has been steadily building his broadcasting résumé since retiring from the Islanders following the 2021-22 season."
"Longtime analyst Butch Goring will not be disappearing from Islanders coverage. Goring, 75, will remain heavily involved, working a variety of formats: some games as the lone analyst with Burke, others in a three-man booth with Hickey, and additional appearances in the studio. The four-time Stanley Cup champion and former Islanders head coach has been a staple of MSG's broadcasts since 2010-11. The team retired his No. 91 in 2020."
MSG Networks will present a new broadcast look for the New York Islanders this season, with Thomas Hickey serving as analyst for most games alongside play-by-play Brendan Burke. Hickey, 36, moved into broadcasting after retiring following the 2021-22 season and joined MSG as a studio analyst in 2022-23. He has drawn praise for sharp, modern insights and also appears on Prime Video's Monday night NHL broadcasts in Canada. Butch Goring, 75, will remain heavily involved across solo analyst duties, three-man booths with Hickey, and studio appearances. Cal Clutterbuck will expand his studio role during pregame, intermission, and postgame segments. MSG Networks will carry 72 of the Islanders' 82 games, starting Oct. 9 at Pittsburgh. The lineup blends dynasty-era legacy, recent playoff-era players, and fan-favorite leadership to narrate the next era of Islanders hockey.
