Sports broadcaster Hailey Hunter, a well-known face among Pittsburgh Penguins fans, has been let go by SportsNet Pittsburgh. Hunter worked for the regional sports network for three years, covering the Penguins franchise for which her father, Tim Hrynewich, played 55 games from 1982 to 1984.
Although SportsNet Pittsburgh hasn't publicly disclosed the reason for her firing, Hunter revealed that she was told the Penguins wanted to move in a different direction with the role. The timing of her exit has sparked attention, coming shortly after her wedding and ahead of the 2026-27 NHL season.
Hunter, who got married to her fiancé, Gage Posey, on May 16 after being together for 5 years, has largely kept details about her finances private. Her net worth remains unknown. Before joining SportsNet Pittsburgh, Hunter worked in television news and sports reporting roles across several markets, transitioning into NHL coverage where she became a recognizable figure for Penguins viewers.
Hailey Hunter has occasionally shared glimpses of her family and relationship on social media. Her mother is Susan Hrynewich, and she has a twin brother named Reed Hrynewich.
