Scott Oake doesn't like to be the centre of attention, but ahead of his final show, we got the veteran Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster to reflect on his accomplishments and preview what's still to come. (@KrRutherford) https://t.co/60ScurRTFm
As announced on After Hours, legendary Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Scott Oake is retiring following the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Next Saturday night will be Scott’s final episode of After Hours. Congratulations, Scott, on a remarkable career! 🙌
Even after 50 (!) years in the business, his work ethic never let up.
This was taken at 5:45am on a Sunday morning last season… already locked in, already preparing for the next week’s After Hours.
Enjoy your retirement!
Our friend @ScottOake didn’t want a big retirement announcement or a million tributes… so naturally we’re doing exactly that.
Somewhere right now he’s in an airport lounge, scrolling Twitter, shaking his head like “for the love of god…”
Hope your flight isn’t delayed!
🚨 World Series Game 7 is the most-watched Rogers broadcast ever, with an average audience of 10.9 million viewers.
It also becomes the most-watched English-language broadcast on record in Canada outside of the 2010 Winter Olympics. 👀🇨🇦
