His days with the Canucks date back 40 years, but for the last 20, my friend and broadcast partner, John Garrett, has been the voice and the brain who brings insight amid chaos, who strikes a perfect balance of seriousness and fun, and whose passion for the game is rivaled only by his respect for those who play it.
His ability to communicate and to educate is nothing short of brilliant, and his team-first attitude is second to none, whether applied to the Canucks he covers or the broadcast team he captains.
Cheech greets every situation with a smile and always has time for an autograph, a selfie, a joke, or a story.
He's the everyman who eats what he likes and nothing else.
He doesn't have time for a bad mood, and he never puts himself above anyone at any moment.
In his distinguished career, Cheech has worked with 40 different play-by-play broadcasters, and I feel so fortunate and proud to have spent the last 15 years partnered with my great friend Dan Murphy and the guy we like to call our other dad.
Thank you, Cheech, from all of us.
It won't be the same without you.

That's really well done.
Since 2002, I've had the privilege and honor to be the color analyst on the regional sports net Canucks broadcast.
This season will be my final time filling that role, even though I will appear on some other Sportsnet properties.
