Live from Winnipeg, Burgundy will join TSN’s fellow “legendary” curling broadcaster Vic Rauter to call live game action during the network’s coverage of the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings opening draw.

“Marked by the gods of broadcasting and placed into this shimmering green sphere like a golden egg in hay, chosen like an unclean jackal by Noah himself, I accept your hallowed task and sing out with a battle cry worthy of your love and your wisdom. And that song is, ‘Winnipeg, get ready to paint the town Burgundy!’ ”
