Toronto (AP) — Bob Cole, the voice of hockey in Canada for a half century who served as the soundtrack for some of the national sport’s biggest moments, has died. He was 90.
Friend and fellow broadcaster John Shannon said Cole 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 Thursday, adding daughter Megan said her father had been healthy “up until the very end.”
“He’s such a legend, such a great man,” said Colorado center Nathan MacKinnon, a Nova Scotia native. “I’ve met him a few times over the years. At charity golf tournaments in Halifax, he’d come out and support Atlantic Canadians. Amazing person, super funny. Just a great guy and obviously some of the best calls of all time.”
Known for his “Oh baby!

The first season of the TV series Republic of Doyle - which will return for a second season this January on the TV network CBC - will be on DVD on November 26.
Meet Jake Doyle - rogue, charmer, drinker, brawler, emotionally unavailable, immature - and the handsome P.I. hero of Republic of Doyle. Jake (Allan Hawco) is a new breed of private investigator, cracking cases - and the occasional head - in contemporary St. John's, Newfoundland. His hometown is changing in a big way, transforming from a small seaport to a booming oil town, and where there's cash, there's trash - and lots of it.

The show also stars Lynda Boyd, Rachel Wilson, Krystin Pellerin, Marthe Bernard, Mark O'Brien and Bob Cole.
