The trade is one for none. Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing absolutely nothing. Well, nothing work related anyway. Today’s Free Agent Frenzy is the last working day in a 48-year professional career that included stops at The Sault Star, The Globe and Mail, The Hockey News (twice), The Toronto Star, TSN, ESPN and NBC, amongst others. It’s been quite a ride. I’ll be 69 years old in August. I decided a few months ago it’s as nice a time as any to call it a career with the expiry of my current contract. If I had been so inclined to continue doing the World Juniors and draft rankings etc. at TSN, the opportunity was certainly there for me to do so. And I’m so grateful to TSN for that. Honestly, though, I am looking forward to waking up on Christmas morning this year and NOT flying to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the World Juniors. I’m also looking forward to doing more travelling with my wife Cindy; having more time to give my sons Mike and Shawn unwanted (and unneeded) advice; playing even more golf than I am now; and having my two wonderful grandchildren Blake and Gunnar running my show on a full-time basis. After almost 50 years in the business, there are far too many people to thank individually, so I won’t even try to name any lest I leave some out. Just know that I’ve been blessed to work for, work with and work against so many great people who gave me boundless opportunity, incredible support and intense motivation. The nearly five decades have gone by in the blink of an eye. I certainly never set out to be the TSN Hockey Insider. It never occurred to me that I would work in television. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a hockey writer, to have a “job” to watch, write and talk about the game. You know, tell a few stories and try to capture the spirit of the thing. Mission accomplished, I guess. I couldn’t say goodbye now without a special thanks to everyone at TSN, past and present. I first started showing up on the network in or around 1986-87. In the 1990s, I was working full-time hours at TSN but still had a full time newspaper job, too. Since 2000, 25 years ago, TSN has been my primary professional home. It’s been a very special place on so many levels. The best part of TSN has always been the people. The best people doing the best work. What an honour to be one small part of the unsurpassed excellence that is TSN. Every time I’ve walked out of Studio Six at the end of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1, I’ve said to myself: “It doesn’t get any better than that.” And it doesn’t. That’s especially true on this Canada Day because I’m so very proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦 I’m a very lucky guy. I owe the game of hockey, and all the people within it — the players, coaches, managers, executives, scouts, agents et al — so much; I owe my family and friends even more. Finally, thank you to anyone who has ever read, watched or listened to any of my work in any form at any outlet over the last 48 years. It’s been a privilege to share some information with you all, and try to have a few laughs along the way on social media or whatever they’re calling it these days. I’ve cherished it all. Fully Completely. ✌️and 💕 -30-
Thank you. 🙏
Just walked by my 13-year-old’s phone and noticed his background. ❤️
You rarely ever see footage like this. In the locker room moments after the Oilers lost game 7 of the Cup Final. Wow. (via @rachelly05, Oilers+ app)
One of the best moments in TV history. RIP Richard Simmons. x.com/Todd_Spence/st…
“30 f***** years. 30 F****** YEARS!” Paul Maurice just delivered one of the greatest parade speeches of all-time 😂 (NSFW: jusssssssst a few f-bombs)
Keith Tkachuk taking a sip from the Stanley Cup courtesy of his son Matthew Tkachuk and captain Aleksander Barkov. What a moment. #StanleyCupFinals #FloridaPanthers

Hockey won't be the same without you, Bones 💙
I had the honour of calling Flyer games on the radio for 10 years. During my time there they racked up 3 Turnbull Cups in 91, 92 and 98. So, after 26 years it was amazing to tune in to see the Flyers hoist another Turnbull Cup winning in Overtime at a jam packed Winkler Arena!
Waking up as 2024 Turnbull Cup Champions feels pretty good 😎 #ThrottleUp #FightForGordie
The Winnipeg Jets join the hockey world in mourning the loss of legendary broadcaster Bob Cole. His iconic voice and passion for our game will always be remembered 💙
Bob Cole, the play-by-play voice of countless NHL games, dies at 90 cbc.ca/1.7184556

@NorthEndRick TV for sure. In US, Gm 1 was on ESPN2… Gm 2 is first time the Jets are on ESPN this season.
