Don Cherry

He was the commentator for Hockey Night in Canada on CBC on Saturday nights. He had lots of knowledge about the game of hockey, therefore he was good at his job and made it entertaining for hockey fans to tune into Coaches Corner on Saturday nights. He and his partner Ron Maclean made a good team. Cherry always would wear crazy jackets and ties. It would always be fun to see what kind of jacket he would be wearing each week. The introduction to his show would play the Hockey Night in Canada theme song. During the show Cherry was very serious but he could also be very funny. Don Cherry was fired not too long ago because of some comments he had made. Don Cherry had said that people were disrespecting Canada by not wearing poppies to honor Canada’s fallen soldiers. Cherry was fired by Bart Yabsley who is the president of the cable SportsNet which is the television station that broadcast Hockey Night in Canada.
