David Holland Tomlinson (born May 8, 1969) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre. He attended Boston University on a hockey scholarship from 1987-1991. After graduating, he played in the AHL and IHL and also compiled 42 games in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers. He also played for Canada's National Team in various tournaments. After his NHL career, he went on to play 10 years of professional hockey in Europe. He is currently a colour commentator for the Vancouver Canucks on CBC Sports/Sportsnet.
Broadcasting career
[edit]On July 29, 2010, it was announced that he would replace Tom Larscheid as the colour commentator for Vancouver Canucks radio broadcasts on Team 1040, later TSN 1040, starting from the 2010–11 season. He performed these duties until the end of the 2016–17 season when TSN 1040 lost the rights to broadcast Canucks games on radio.[1][2][3]
On March 13, 2019, Tomlinson was one of many radio personalities who were let go from TSN 1040.[4]
In October 2021, Tomlinson was named as the first radio color commentator for the NHL's newest franchise, the Seattle Kraken.[5] He would hold the position until July 14, 2023 when he announced that he was leaving his role for a "broadcasting opportunity with the NHL in Canada."[6][7]
On September 19, 2023, Tomlinson was named as the lead color commentator for the Canucks regional broadcasts on CBC/Sportsnet, beginning in the 2023–24 season, with Ray Ferraro filling in for select games.[8][9][10][11]
