Todd Crocker, the new radio voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for an in-depth conversation about his incredible new opportunity.
Crocker opens up about the process behind the scenes and how he landed the Leafs gig, including the emotional moment he received the official call while on vacation in Madrid with his wife. Just days into the job, he admits he’s still trying to wrap his head around the news.
He also shares his thoughts on the Leafs, why he believes last season was an anomaly, and the excitement surrounding Gavin McKenna and Easton Cowan. Crocker explains what intrigues him most about the No. 1 overall pick and why he’s particularly excited to watch Cowan take another step.
After 13 years calling Marlies games, Crocker reflects on his AHL broadcasting journey and fittingly finishing his tenure by calling the Marlies’ Calder Cup championship last season. He also identifies Ben Danford as a Marlies prospect Leafs fans should keep an eye on this season.
Plus, Crocker discusses replacing the legendary Joe Bowen and reveals the advice Bowen gave him after he got the job: “You just gotta be you.”
