hasn’t been a great year for the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> so far as on the ice they’ve struggled while off of it, the organization lost Joe Borovich, who created their ‘Stick in the Rink’ logo, which was worn on their very first jerseys in the National Hockey League.<\/p>\n“The Vancouver Canucks are deeply saddened by the passing of Joe Borovich, the creator of the team’s original stick-in-rink logo, unveiled during the club’s inaugural NHL season in 1970.” the Canucks said on X last month.<\/p>\n
Sadly, we have some more tough news to share on Tuesday following the passing of a legendary former Vancouver Canucks and Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster.<\/p>\n
Former Vancouver Canucks broadcaster Jim Robson passes away<\/p>\n
In a post on social media on Tuesday afternoon, Hockey Night in Canada’s John Bartlett announced that former Vancouver Canucks broadcaster Jim Robson has passed away at the age of 91.<\/p>\n
“Some sad news to pass along in the hockey world. The great, longtime Canucks broadcaster and Hockey Night in Canada alumni Jim Robson has passed away. He was 91.<\/p>\n
Condolences to all the Robson family and friends.” Bartlett said on X.<\/p>\n
“Devastated to hear of the passing of Jim Robson. He is the standard to which all BC based play-by-play broadcasters have aspired to, and will never reach.<\/p>\n
The word legend isn\u2019t enough.” Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 said.<\/p>\n
Jim Robson’s career as the main Vancouver Canucks’ broadcaster began in 1970, the team’s first year in the National Hockey League, and he would remain in that role for nearly 30 years before retiring.<\/p>\n
Robson also spent time on national broadcasts as part of Hockey Night in Canada, calling games that took place on the west coast, including Vancouver’s first game in the National Hockey League on October 9th, 1970 and and three NHL All-Star Games – 1977, 1981 and 1983 before leaving the network at the conclusion of the 1984-85 season.<\/p>\n
In 1992, Robson was awarded the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award by the Hockey Hall of Fame and was inducted into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame and B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and 2000, respectively.<\/p>\n
The thoughts of everyone here at Vancouver Hockey Daily are with the family and friends of Jim Robson at this difficult time.<\/p>\n
