Andy Frost is out as the public address announcer at Maple Leaf games at the Air Canada Centre.

Frost tweeted as much and a Leafs spokesman confirmed it.

Frost told the Star team president Brendan Shanahan told him it was not a “firing” but the team was “simply not renewing” his contract.

“Cool with me!” Frost tweeted.

Frost is just the third public address announcer in the team’s history, and the only one the team has had this century; he took over the job at the start of the 1999-2000 season.

Frost, a disc jockey with Q107, used his radio skills to provide a more up-tempo approach to the job of calling lineups, goals, assists and penalties as well as hockey’s iconic “last minute of play” call at the end of each period.

Frost replaced Paul Morris, who took a more even-keeled approach. Morris held the position from 1961 to the end of 1998-1999. Morris’ tenure started at Maple Leaf Gardens and ended at the ACC; Morris replaced Red Barber.
