All games will additionally be simulcast on the AHL's official streaming platform, AHLTV on FloHockey.

Returning for his 11th season as the TV and radio "Voice of the Monsters" is veteran play-by-play broadcaster Tony Brown, recipient of the 2020-21 James H. Ellery Memorial Award for Outstanding Media coverage of the AHL. Providing color commentary on telecasts again this season will be Monsters Sr. VP of Operations/Team Services and the IHL's all-time leading scorer, Stanley Cup Champion and Cleveland Hockey Legend, Jock Callander, along with former Monsters goaltender and Columbus Blue Jackets Goaltending Development Coach Brad Thiessen.
