JUNIOR JOTTINGS: Joey Kenward, the radio voice of the Vancouver Giants for the last five seasons, is going to The Show. Kenward, 30, will be one of three radio voices of the Vancouver Canucks on the Team 1040 next season. John Shorthouse, who has been the sole play-by-play voice of the Canucks, will be calling their games on Rogers Sportsnet but will do games on radio that aren’t on TV. Rick Ball, who calls B.C. Lions games on radio, will handle Canucks’ home games on radio, with Kenward handling the road games. . . . Got that? . . . Here's a recap. . . . Games not on TV, listeners get Shorthouse. Home games that are on TV, it’s Ball. Road games on TV, it’s Kenward on the radio. . . . So that's three voices to do what one voice once did. Only in radio, kiddies, only in radio . . .
