Oh Baby! Veteran hockey broadcaster Bob Cole open to return to booth
Veteran hockey broadcaster Bob Cole turns 85 later this month and still has no plans to retire.
He’s not calling as many regular-season games as he’d like, and the disappointment of being left out of the NHL playoff mix still lingers.
But Cole would like to return next season and Sportsnet president Scott Moore said this week that he’d like to have him back to call a few games. Chances are good that the legendary play-by-play man will be back in the booth.
“I’d like to do more games than I have been doing, I mean 10 or 15 games is not a lot,” Cole said Wednesday. “But 15 or 20 games, that would be great. A round or two in the playoffs. Keep me involved and being part of it. Hockey Night has been my life.”
