I watched a Ontario Hockey League game on our local cable channel, what I noticed was good play-by-play announcing without all the opinions and comments that you hear, from broadcasters on the CBC to name a few. I know they don't want such thing as dead air, but with this game there wasn't a moment of it. Even the fights were play-by-play. Very descriptive that is the way hockey and other sport used to be announced before the days of television. I feel for the blind and visually impair who I am sure would love to follow the game, but because of these so called announcers, they have to really on a friend or family member to describe the plays. I say back to good old announcing, sometimes old is better that new and this goes for sports casters.
