Bob Cole, Canada's voice of hockey over five decades, has sadly died at the age of 90.
Cole, who provided the soundtrack for some of hockey's biggest moments, died Wednesday night in his hometown of St. John's, the capital of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the network for which Cole worked, announced his death on Thursday. His daughter Megan revealed that her father had been healthy 'up until the very end.'
Cole called his first game on radio - between Boston and Montreal - in April 1969 and moved to TV in 1973.
He called his last game on April 6, 2019 - the regular-season finale between the Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs.
