You're Dialed In with JQ

At the end of the regular season, we're talking hockey here people, the Avalanche was hit with some terrible news. Mikey Haynes, the play by play announcer for the Altitude Network, was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and had to have surgery. He missed the entire play off run and was briefly replaced by John Kelly, a former Avalanche announcer. John Kelly did a terrific job as always, but Haynes is the voice of our team.

Mike Haynes made a full and healthy recovery and he'll be returning to his thrown next season along with Peter McNabb. Just wanted to give an update to the poor bastards that actually read this trash. Also there is a great 1 hour interview with Mike on http://www.fm1043thefan.com/home.cfm It's under the On-Demand tap, sports guys, Mike Haynes interview. It's really pretty funny and worth your time.

Mike Haynes: The Voice of the Av's

I just want to show some respect to a great man that constantly puts a smile on my face day in and day out. Mike Haynes with the Altitude Network, play by play announcer for the Avalanche, and on-air partner of Peter McNabb will undergo surgery on a Basilar Artery Aneurysm. His amazing on-air enthusiasm makes every game worth watching. He calls a great game every time and you can feel how passionate he is about the Av's. John Kelly, a former Av's announcer, will be paired up with McNabb once again to cover the playoffs.

So just know that all the Avalanche fans are with you and your family at this difficult time. Best Wishes and of course GO AV'S!
