A few years back, yes.
Van PAtrick did Lions games in 60's and 70's and also did early radio of MNF games.
Dick Irvin SR was a great player. Dick Irvin Jr was the voice of Hockey Night in Canada for Montreal games.
Forster Hewitt was HNiC's announcer for games from Maple Leaf Gardens. He broadcast for over 60 years. He coined the phrase, "He shoots, he scores." Also known for starting broadcasts with, "Hello, Canada, and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland."
