It's too bad that Ken refused to listen to the many expressed concerns regarding his "excessive" negativity at times, the last 6 years!

Whats the 411 on this? I thought Ken was under contract for a few more years.
Also, am I the only person who liked Ken?
Seems that way.
haha.

Nope, Ken was on a one-year contract with 103.5 The Eagle. And plenty of Eagles fans liked him - he did the broadcasts for seven seasons and his voice and broadcast style became immediately identifiable with the team during that time. Kyle Moore did a great job filling in for Dan Robertson on the play-by-play for a couple of Eastlink TV broadcasts, and also did a stellar job of hosting quite a few Eastlink games from C200. It'll be interesting to see how he puts his stamp on the games on radio. |

Why did he have to be so loud though?? Any time I heard sound bites of him, he was always screaming after a goal, or a big hit or something. He was good at being a play-by-play guy, as I remember when he didn't Eastlink TV games, but I just couldn't stand him screaming and swallowing the microphone lol.

I actually didn't mine Ken. Some didn't like when he would lay blame if someone screwed up a play or took a bad penalty, but I think that he should call it how he sees it. He would also be the first to praise a player for a big hit, nice goal, etc. I found he always had good guests for the intermissions. Hope Kyle does a good job replacing Ken & hopefully Norm isn't back.

Because there is a facebook group for Kenny regarding him being replaced as voice of the eagles. The interesting thing is that a majority (a high majority) of the people in that group last week were from Antigonish...which is where Kenny is from. Actually most of them would have known Kenny growing up, so the group had a very biased opinion. So these people writing letters to the editor could be associated with Kenny. |

Absolutely mind blowing to me that the teams radio announcer, who was(in my opinion anyway) good but not great, gets replaced and that gets more reaction in the Cape Breton Post from fans then the overall direction of the franchise which has been butchered by management.
