This has included play-by-play for the ''CFL on TSN'' and for Sportsnet's coverage of the Rogers Cup (both in 2012),〔 (Cup Tennis--> )〕 and for Sportsnet's Toronto Blue Jays coverage in 2013. In addition, in the fall of 2011, during the NBA lockout, Devlin hosted the pre-game and post-game shows for Toronto Maple Leafs games on Leafs TV.
