As long as we have had live hockey broadcasts, be it on radio or television, we have had talented people to call it. After nearly 100 years of commentary on the game, some iconic calls have been uttered that are synonymous with the sport. Names like Foster Hewitt, Bob Cole, Al Michaels, Rick Jeanneret, and Chris Cuthbert are legends of the broadcast booth, and their calls will be forever etched into the annals of history. Here are some of the most iconic calls in hockey history.
