Cole died Wednesday night in his hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland, surrounded by his family.
By Julian McKenzie, Eric Duhatschek and Chris Johnston Canadian sports announcer and play-by-play man Bob Cole died Wednesday night at the age of 90, his daughter told CBC. Cole died in his hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland, surrounded by his family, according to the CBC. “Like every hockey fan across the country, we are deeply saddened to hear of Bob Cole’s passing,” CBC executive vice president Barb Williams said in a statement to The Athletic.
Advertisement “This was a natural progression for a lot of us internally at ‘Hockey Night’ that we needed to have,” said Shannon, “which I would describe as a network voice versus the voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs or the voice of the Montreal Canadiens. So, Bob became that transition guy. There was pushback a little bit in Toronto, you’re right. There was pushback a little in Montreal as well.
