And um it it still to this day, and I think that's why one of the reasons these six shows are so to me very important. voice-verified

Um i it it it was it was part of my life, uh a big part of my life and a big part of in many ways what framed my my life in the game of hockey. voice-verified

Um I started as a TV guy voice-verified

I uh and I've ended up as a hockey person and uh a lot of it has to do with what Hockey Night in Canada gave me. voice-verified

You know, Cam, I would tell you, uh in the more than twenty three or twenty-four years that it was part of my life, uh, my first job was the best job. voice-verified

And it was the uh it was the most fun job because uh the way the system worked in those days was and it was Saturdays and Wednesdays at at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, uh you got to interact with the players. voice-verified

The old system had the producers and the directors kind of on pedestals and and and they didn't talk to the players. voice-verified

It was our job, the the the newbies, the gophers. voice-verified

Uh the they were the ones who had the relationships with players. voice-verified

So in those days that was a team uh full of greatness when you think of Daryl Sittler and and you think of Lanny McDonald and Ian Turnbull and Borea Solming, Mike Palmateer, uh Red Kelly was the first coach, and then Roger Nielsen after him. voice-verified

Uh those are the people that we interacted with. voice-verified

And and and you know, for people over the age of voice-verified

I guess forty five or fifty. voice-verified

Those are voice-verified

uh semi legendary names in the game of hockey and certainly legendary games in the names of the Toronto Maple Leafs. voice-verified

And then I got to meet the other team voice-verified

uh teams as well. voice-verified

And when you think about the late 70s, that was Scottie Bowman's Montreal Canadiens. voice-verified

That was the New York Rangers that Fred Shiro started to coach. voice-verified

That was Bobby Clark and the Philadelphia Flyers. voice-verified
