Lewis announced his retirement yesterday, after a career which has seen Stanley Cup champions, the Great One lead the team from an afterthought of the WHA to an NHL dynasty, and Canada Cup tournaments.
When the Oilers move into Rogers Place next year, they’ll have a new home, and a new voice. Already, there are several wondering how they can have their shot behind the mic.
