Dave Hodge - Biography
Dave Hodge (born January 8, 1945) is a Canadian sports announcer who currently works for TSN, and has worked in the past for the CBC and CFRB 1010 radio in Toronto. Hodge served as play-by-play announcer for the Buffalo Sabres radio broadcasts in their inaugural season 1970–71, with Ted Darling calling the TV play-by-play. He ceded those duties to current play-by-play announcer Rick Jeanneret. Joining the CBC the following season, he hosted Hockey Night in Canada from 1971 until 1987, working 15 Stanley Cup Finals. He was often joined in the studio by colourful analysts, such as Howie Meeker and Don Cherry. He also announced the Toronto Argonauts Canadian Football League radio broadcasts from 1974 to 1980.
Born in Montreal, Hodge began his career as a sportwriter with Chatham Daily News in 1965, then on to local radio CFCO in 1966 and onto to CFRB from 1968 to 1986.
By the time of his firing, Hodge had already moved to Vancouver, where he was working as the sports director of radio station CKNW and serving as the host of Vancouver Canucks radio broadcasts that did not conflict with his CBC duties. He continued to reside in Vancouver and work for CKNW for the next few years.
