Hazel Mae: Profession, Career

Hazel began her career as an anchor at Rogers Sportsnet in the morning version of the “SportsnetNews” program after graduating.

This was a smart move for Hazel because Rogers Sports is a renowned Canadian all-sports TV network with a rich history and traditions.

She also had a full schedule as the host of the weekly JZone program, which focused on all things Toronto Blue Jays because Rogers Sportsnet also owned the JZone magazine.

After being asked to appear for the Urban Male Magazine in lingerie with two other sports hosts in 2002, Hazel developed an interest in both fashion design and modeling.

Hazel relocated to Boston in December 2004 to work as the lead anchor for SportsDesk at NESN. In addition to her duties as the principal anchor, she also hosted the weekly Ultimate Red Sox Show on NESN.

She served as the host of “The Buzz” in 2007, a program that ranked the season’s top Boston Bruins players. Hazel left NESN in June 2008 since she was nominated for the job of Red Sox Nation’s president.

But Jerry Remy, another NESN anchor, won the job, and Hazel couldn’t help but show her displeasure.

Hazel formally stated in August 2008 that she would be working as a reporter for MLB Network (Major League Baseball).

She appeared in such shows and programs as “30 Clubs in 30 Days,” “MLB Tonight,” “Quick Pitch,” and “Hot Stove” while she was employed by MLB.

Hazel and her colleague Matt Yaloff, an accomplished reporter and anchor, were chosen to broadcast “The Rundown,” a new program that the MLB Network debuted in 2011.

On September 19, 2011, however, Hazel revealed that she was leaving the program in order to return to SportsnetNews.

On November 14, 2011, she joined the Sportsnet team in the position of an anchor, broadcasting from Toronto Maple Leaf hockey games and hosting the evening edition of the program “Sportsnet Connected.”

Hazel served as the show’s anchor up until July 1, 2015, when her colleagues’ program “Tim&Sid,” hosted by Tim Micallef and Sid Seixeiro, took its place. Since that time, Hazel has been covering Toronto Blue Jays games as a reporter.

As she couldn’t find a dress for herself that met all of her requirements, including a nice color, a good fabric, and a proper design to flatter her figure, Hazel founded her own fashion company and began designing and selling smart dresses she considered to be the go-to choice for a television personality.

She even gave many outfits to her female coworkers so they could wear them while reporting after deciding to start her own line. The clothing line received effective marketing, and Hazel’s brand quickly gained recognition.

A former baseball player is wed to Kevin Barker Hazel. They dated for a few years before getting married on January 7, 2009.

On April 26, 2013, he filed a lawsuit against roughly 20 persons who made the same allegations about Brian Burke on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ official website, alleging that Burke’s affair with married woman Hazel Mae was the primary cause of Burke’s resignation as club president.
