I didn't watch the whole game, so I don't remember the entire announcing
team, but there was (I think) one NYer (I think...), one Philadelphian, and
one Canadian.

Of course, one thing I've noticed with hockey broadcasts is that sometimes
American hockey players "absorb" Canadian accents (general vowels, but not
lexically-specific pronunciations as in BEEN, AGAIN, AGAINST, although
sometimes in ORGANIZATION).
