 Alexis Downie

"My career as a sports broadcaster is something that I aspired to achieve from a very young age. I love the passion in sports, the family they create, and the opportunity they provide to share the stories of athletes at all levels. Working in the NHL is a dream come true and brings new challenges every day.

The broadcast journalism class that I took while at BHS gave me my first taste of the television industry. I learned how to edit, host shows and the basics of what goes on behind-the-scenes. Those skills helped kickstart my career in a way that had me ahead of the curve from the beginning. In addition to that, being a part of the athletic community at BHS provided an understanding of a variety of sports to make me versatile in my career."
