Many fans today don't even remember the Phanouf / Kessel Leafs nvm the teams of early 2000s and 90's.

The best.
He was kind enough to take a pic with me and my friend the night of the last game at the Gardens.
Rest in peace.

RIP
And my sincere condolences to his grieving family
He had such a dignified, soothing and iconic voice as a public address announcer.
He was the voice of the old Maple Leaf Gardens and a important part of Maple Leaf history. With the Toronto organization, he was the equivalent of Claude Mouton, the voice and public announcer of the formerly iconic Montreal Forum.

In their 108-year history, the Maple Leafs had 39 head coaches, 20 team captains and 18 general managers. But they only had 4 official public address announcers. This is what Consistency looks like.
