Today it was announced that former NHLer and broadcast announcer of the Colorado Avalanche had passed away at 70-years-old. The Altitude and KSE family made the announcement today that Peter McNab had passed away.

The Altitude and KSE family are saddened to announce the passing of our friend, Peter McNab. Our hearts go out to his family and friends, and the McNab family asks for privacy during this unimaginably difficult time.


It was announced in 2021 that McNab was battling cancer, but he continued his role with the team during chemotherapy. In February of this year it was announced that his cancer was in remission.


McNab was drafted 85th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in 1972. McNab would go onto play for the Sabres, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils. McNab played 955 games putting up 813 points along the way. He was named an NHL All-Star in 1977.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
