Andria “Andi” Petrillo is a Canadian sports broadcaster. She became the first-ever female member to serve on a full-time basis with the Hockey Night in Canada studio team.
When she was 19, Petrillo began volunteering at her local television station, Rogers Cable York Region in Ontario, Canada. She worked behind the scenes on various shows from sports, news, and politics, to entertainment. Finally, Petrillo was given an on-air opportunity on the magazine show ‘York Region Living,’ where she hosted the restaurant segment.

Petrillo’s role began to grow at the station and in 2004 the title of Sports Host and Producer became available. The station manager at the time, Lisa McClean Stellick, wanted Petrillo as her sports host, but was met with some push-back by some executives who were concerned about having two women at the desk for the nightly newscast, as the main news host was Jennifer Buchanan. McClean Stellick prevailed and in 2004 Petrillo became the sports host and producer for York Region. She covered various sports and found her niche in hockey where she hosted a weekly live Junior ‘A’ hockey broadcast.

In 2006, Petrillo joined Leafs TV (owned by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE)) and served as a reporter for broadcasts of games featuring the National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Toronto Marlies. With ESPN, she had the opportunity to do some freelance work such as sideline reporting for the 2008 National Lacrosse League championship game. Petrillo’s role expanded under MLSE, and she began working on their other television stations: NBA TV Canada and GOL TV Canada as host and reporter for the Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC games.

Petrillo joined Hockey Night in Canada for the 2011-12 NHL season and hosted the iDesk portion of the broadcast, becoming the first female to serve on a full-time basis with the HNIC studio team. She’s anchored several of CBC’s coverage of the Olympics and the 2014 FIFA World Cup and recently the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
