Former Vancouver Canucks reporter lands new hosting gig with NHL insider
Former Vancouver Canucks rinkside reporter Kate Pettersen has a new gig.
Pettersen parted ways with the team following the 2023-24 season. The Canucks hired Olivia McDonald as a replacement, and the B.C. native is still working for the club.
Pettersen recently revealed that she has landed a new gig as co-host of the show Frankly Speaking, alongside NHL insider Frank Seravalli.
First show in the books! Nothing like Connor McDavid signing a contract extension while we were live to spice up our Monday.
Thankful for the opportunity to work with an amazing team this season!@frank_seravalli @victoryplustv
See y’all again tomorrow at 12 EST! pic.twitter.com/Cpp3GF71n0

After leaving the Canucks in 2024, Pettersen continued her work as an NHL reporter. She worked for the NHL Network in 2024-25, covering events such as Utah’s first NHL game and the NHL Draft. Pettersen also worked as a reporter for hockey outlet The Fourth Period last season.
She has also worked as a golf reporter for ESPN, covering events such as the TGL Finals.
Now, Pettersen is teaming up with one of the most well-known insiders in the NHL.
