 CBC
Television Sports, two-time Gemini Award Sportscaster of the Year, Ron MacLean is
CBC’s, "Mr. Hockey Night in Canada." Throughout the hockey season he can be
seen most Saturday nights sparring with Don Cherry about the "best" in the
sport. As an entertaining after-dinner speaker Ron can inform you about both the
background and the scuttlebutt of any player in the NHL. His TV experience hosting Olympic
and Commonwealth Games makes him a natural master of ceremonies for any occasion.
Ron MacLean is best
known as the straight man on Coach’s Corner, the listener, and some might argue the
voice of reason that saves Don Cherry from getting a puck in the head. Ron’s
broadcasting career began in 1978 when he took over a 16-month part-time position at a
radio station in Red Deer, Alberta. One night in 1984, a hockey producer saw MacLean doing
an ad-lib weather forecast and hired him to host the Calgary Flames telecasts on CKPD, an
independent TV station in Calgary. He then became the sports anchor on the local evening
news. MacLean’s first love is hockey, which led him to Toronto in 1986, and Molson
Hockey Night in Canada on CBC.
The Gemini
Award-winning sportscaster has expanded his professional duties to include hosting
CBC’s coverage of the Summer and Winter Olympics, Calgary Stampede, Commonwealth
Games and World Track & Field Championships. In his spare time, he is a Level 5
referee for the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. As a host, master of ceremonies or
featured speaker, Ron’s quick wit, thoughtful insights, and humorous, engaging style
has entertained audiences from coast to coast.
If you are looking
for humour you can’t go wrong with Ron! No matter what the topic, he leaves audiences
rolling in the aisles and wanting more. His charismatic personality, quick wit and
thoughtful insight make Ron the perfect host, master of ceremonies or keynote speaker.
"If you’re a fan of sport, you
are a fan of the whole idea of what’s at stake and how tough it is to make it to the
highest level of whatever the competition," says MacLean, of "how sweet it is to
win but also how absolutely easy it is to lose."
Highlights:
"We have access to everyone who speaks".
