ESPN’s World Cup of Hockey broadcast team will include another familiar face, the network announced Monday when it released its commentator schedule for the event.

ESPN said St. Louis Blues analyst Darren Pang will work between the benches at several games throughout the tournament. Pang spent 12 years covering hockey for ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.

Linda Cohn and Adnan Virk will host studio coverage during group play, while John Buccigross will jump in as studio host once the semifinal round starts. ESPN’s prior plan included John Saunders as studio host, but had to be shifted after Saunders’ untimely death on Aug. 10.

Steve Levy and Barry Melrose will call all Team USA games along with a few others, while Buccigross and Kevin Weekes will call games as the other broadcast team. Buccigross will call almost all his games with Weekes except for Russia vs. Finland on Sept. 22 when Pang will broadcast the game with Buccigross. Leah Hextall will be the ice-level reporter for each game. Weekes will join the main broadcast team starting Sept. 21 for Europe vs. Canada. Chris Chelios and Brett Hull will provide analysis from the studio.

Here is the official release from ESPN on the commentator schedule.

ESPN’s championship caliber commentator team begins coverage of the World Cup of Hockey 2016 Saturday, Sept. 17, from Toronto’s Air Canada Centre at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 when Team USA faces Team Europe in group play. The top team of Steve Levy and Barry Melrose will call the action. ESPN’s John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes will call their first tournament game at 8 p.m. that night when Team Czech Republic faces off against Team Canada. Former NHL goalie Darren Pang, who previously provided analysis for ESPN’s NHL coverage, will join the team as a game analyst and between-the-benches reporter for select games. Linda Cohn and Toronto native Adnan Virk will host studio coverage throughout the group play stage of the tournament. Buccigross will take over as studio host for the Semifinals and Final when Levy and Melrose are in the booth. Coverage will feature NHL Hall of Famers Brett Hull and Chris Chelios in the studio for every game during the tournament. Virk will host the two-hour preview show on Friday, Sept 16, at 7 p.m. on ESPN2 with commentary and analysis from the entire Toronto-based group.

ESPN’s return hockey coverage has created some buzz, since it was announced the network would broadcast the World Cup. ESPN used to broadcast NHL games in the 90s and did so until the league’s 2004-05 lockout. After the lockout NHL games moved to Comcast/NBC properties.

ESPN has used its properties to push the tournament, including a live announcement of John Tortorella as Team USA’s head coach on SportsCenter. Team USA’s initial 16-man roster was also announced on SportsCenter.

Levy recently spoke with the Associated Press about the importance of the network towards helping the NHL’s brand in the United States.

“How can you be a big-time sport in the states and not be on ESPN? I think that’s the part that’s tough for a lot of people to understand,” Levy said. “I can tell you the players themselves get frustrated. They’re on the road, in hotels, and they can’t watch their own games, they can’t watch action from around the league. Some of the people that have the (NBC Sports Network) channel, they don’t know what number it is. It just seems very different than ESPN where you know exactly where you’re going at all times.”
