Vancouver Giants News Release


Vancouver, B.C. - The Vancouver Giants announced today the hiring of Nathan Kanter to the organization as Director of Media Relations and Broadcasting. Kanter will also be the voice of the Giants starting in the 2023-24 season.

For the past two seasons, Kanter served as Manager of Digital Media, Fan & Community Engagement with the Regina Pats Hockey Club in the Western Hockey League. In his role, Kanter managed and produced multimedia content on all digital platforms for the Pats, including social media, in-venue and at reginapats.com.

Previously, he was the Play-by-Play Broadcaster and Communications Coordinator for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the British Columbia Hockey League from 2019-21, after spending two seasons as the voice of the Battlefords North Stars in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

"First off, I'd like to thank the Toigo family, Dale Saip, as well as the Giants management and coaching staff for this amazing opportunity. I'd also like to thank the Regina Pats organization for two exciting seasons where I learned a lot and had the fortune of working with great people," Kanter said.

Prior to moving to the Battlefords in 2016, the Toronto, Ont. native graduated from Western University in London, Ont. with a master's in journalism and then served as the Digital Managing Editor at the Western Gazette, the school's campus newspaper, for one year.

"I'm truly ecstatic to sink my teeth back into play-by-play this coming fall, especially when I look at the abundance of young talent on the Giants roster. I can't think of a better place to hone my craft than the great city of Vancouver," Kanter added.

With Kanter coming on board, Play-by-Play Broadcaster Eddie Gregory's time with the Giants concludes after the 2022-23 season.

"It was great having Eddie as the voice of the Vancouver Giants organization this past season and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours," Vice President Peter Toigo said.
