TORONTO,Sept. 28 2000 --With the NHL regular season only one week away

former NHL head coach Pierre McGuire.
    Viewers will see McGuire in a variety of hockey-related programs on TSN

    "Adding an analyst with the hockey experience, knowledge and credibility
of Pierre further solidifies TSN's position as the viewer's choice for hockey
news and information," says Keith Pelley, TSN's Senior Vice-President of
Programming and Production. "The addition of Pierre further enhances a hockey
broadcast team that is already the best in the business."
    McGuire has spent the last three years covering hockey for a number of
media outlets. He was a radio colour commentator on Montreal Canadiens
broadcasts and worked as an analyst on the Habs This Week television program.
    In addition, he is a special contributor to Sports Illustrated, writing
for the U.S.-based magazine's hockey section.
    Before his work as a broadcaster and journalist, McGuire worked behind
the bench in the NHL. His resume includes performing various roles (including
scout, bench assistant and defense coach) for the Pittsburgh Penguins between
1990-1992.
    From 1992-1994, McGuire was an assistant coach, assistant GM and
