Furness was excited to finally announce the news on social media, posting to his Instagram account: "On a personal note, hockey has always been a passion for me and the years of riding a bus in the Canadian prairies along with my time in the AHL and IHL was well worth it! To sign a contract with a NHL team to be part of its new broadcast network, in my hometown is surreal. I can’t wait to get this thing going!'
