Playing career Reaugh played for the
Kamloops Blazers of the
Western Hockey League where he was an
All-Star goaltender. In the
1984 NHL entry draft the
Edmonton Oilers selected Reaugh with the 42nd pick. He played 7 games with the Oilers but spent the majority of his six years in the organization in the
American Hockey League. He has a
Stanley Cup ring and is included in the
1988 Edmonton Oilers team pictures. Reaugh dressed for 60 games, but since he only played 6 games, during the 1987-88 season, his name is not engraved on the Stanley Cup. Reaugh played in
Finland's
SM-liiga during the 1988–89 season. Reaugh joined the
Hartford Whalers in
1990 and played over 1000 minutes, posting a 7–7–1 record and a 3.15
goals against average. His season was cut short after an injury sustained in his 20th appearance. While playing a puck in net, a skate from one of the other players on the ice ran over Reaugh's glove, severely cutting his hand. A hamstring injury would make the 1993–94 season with the
Dayton Bombers of the
ECHL his last, cutting his promising career short at the age of 28.
Broadcasting Prior to his work with the Stars, Reaugh first appeared as a regular in 1991 on the
American Hockey League-produced weekly series
Rinkside, partnered with fellow goaltender
Jim Ralph, and was also a
color commentator for the
Hartford Whalers during the
1995–96 NHL season. Reaugh has also done work with
ABC,
ESPN,
Fox,
Versus, and
NBC broadcasts of regular season and playoff NHL games, and provided the color commentary in the
EA Sports video games ''
NHL '98 and NHL '99''. In 1996, Reaugh joined Stars' play-by-play announcer
Ralph Strangis to form the highly popular "Ralph and Razor" duo. In August 2012, Ralph and Razor were ranked the #1 broadcasting duo in the NHL by hockeybuzz.com. Starting with the
2011–12 NHL season, Reaugh began to broadcast Western Conference games on
Hockey Night in Canada in addition to his role as the Dallas Stars color commentator. After the
2014-15 season, Strangis left the Stars and was replaced by
Dave Strader. The following summer, Strader was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and missed significant time to undergo treatment. The Stars decided to promote him as the permanent play-by-play announcer when Strader died on October 1, 2017, partnering with former Stars defenseman
Craig Ludwig. Starting with the
2018-19 season, Reaugh returned to the color commentary role, teaming up with play-by-play man Josh Bogorad (previously a host on the team's pregame, postgame, and intermission coverage). This also coincided with the creation of "Podman Rush", a
podcast hosted by Reaugh. The podcast features exclusive interviews and analysis, and is deemed the official podcast of the Dallas Stars. As the Stars' color commentator he is known for his deep vocabulary of descriptive words that he uses with almost comedic timing, known affectionately to some as "Razorisms". Reaugh is widely known to drink three glasses of milk each day.
Hockey Hall of Fame Reaugh was awarded the
Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to hockey broadcasting on November 10, 2025. ==Career statistics==
