Longtime Hockey Night in Canada and CBC Sports sports broadcaster Scott Oake will be hanging up his headset and retiring at the end of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. He joined the Hockey Night in Canada team about a decade later and has been a rinkside staple for Canadian hockey fans ever since. He was inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015. "Scott has been a trusted voice and steady presence on Hockey Night in Canada for more than three decades, earning the respect of viewers, colleagues and athletes alike. Through his thoughtful reporting, genuine compassion, and unwavering professionalism, he has helped tell the stories that define hockey," Sportsnet said in a statement.
