Foster Hewitt (1902-1985)
Foster Hewitt began his career as a reporter for the Toronto Star but soon moved to radio. On March 22, 1923 he broadcast from the Mutual Street Arena one of the first hockey games ever aired in Canada. His reputation was such that by 1931 when Maple Leaf Gardens was built as the new home of the Toronto team, owner Conn Smythe offered him sole broadcasting rights. "Hockey Night in Canada" with Foster Hewitt quickly became a national institution followed by millions of fans. In 60 years of radio and television sportscasting Hewitt never missed a game, becoming a legend known the hockey world over for his famous phrase
"He shoots - He scores."
