Kevin Bieksa has once again proven his prowess off the ice, clinching his third consecutive Canadian Screen Award for Best Sports Analyst. The former Vancouver Canucks defenceman turned broadcaster received the honor on May 29, adding to his accolades from previous years in 2024 and 2025.
Bieksa’s journey to this achievement has been marked by notable nominations. He first contended for the award in 2021 but was edged out by fellow ex-hockey player Cassie Campbell-Pascall, who was then with Sportsnet. The following year saw him nominated again, but this time, Toronto Blue Jays analyst Joe Siddall took home the trophy.
Having spent a decade with the Canucks organization, Bieksa is fondly remembered for his significant contributions on the ice. He served as an alternate captain for five years and is particularly celebrated for his memorable ‘Stanchion goal’ during the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, a moment that propelled Vancouver to the Finals.
This year’s Best Sports Analyst award featured stiff competition, with nominees including Brian Stemmle from CBC Sports Presents, Kia Nurse of Raptors on TSN, and Luke Wilson from SC with Jay Onrait. Additionally, Dan Shulman from Blue Jays on Sportsnet was recognized as Best Sports Play-By-Play Announcer, while Hazel Mae received the Gordon Sinclair Award for Broadcast Journalism.
