As part of that celebration the City of Maple Ridge will be renaming the section of 105 Avenue that leads to Planet Ice and the Albion Fairgrounds as ‘Jim Robson Way.’ The Jim Robson Way road dedication ceremony will take place at 5:30 pm at the Golden Ears Winter Club in the upstairs lounge. John Shorthouse, play-by-play announcer for the Vancouver Canucks will act as the emcee for the event. “Jim Robson is a dear friend and a mentor. I’m very proud to be part of this celebration of his legacy to broadcasting and his deep roots in Maple Ridge,” said Mr. Shorthouse. “We will have video clips supplied from the Vancouver Canucks and I understand there will be tributes from the RMMHA as part of their 50th Anniversary event.” “I am so proud that everyone who drives along Lougheed Highway will pass by the new ‘Jim Robson Way’ signs. It’s even more appropriate that every young person who is heading to the arena will get there via Jim Robson Way,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read.

  • Voices of the Canucks Featuring Vancouver Canucks Broadcasters
    Voices of the Canucks Featuring Vancouver Canucks Broadcasters Jim Robson: Sports Broadcaster To many British Columbians, Jim Robson is the voice of hockey. Over the course of his 47 year broadcasting career, Robson called the action for more than 2,000 NHL games on radio and television. He broadcast 4 Stanley Cup Finals and 5 NHL All-Star Games for Hockey Night in Canada, but is remembered best for his 24 years broadcasting Canucks games on radio for CKNW. When the Canucks jumped to the NHL, he was there for the very first game on October 9, 1970 doing play-by-play for the HNIC television broadcast. His trademark line used to open every broadcast: “Good eve- ning hockey fans and welcome to this National Hockey League game...”. It became nearly as well-known as his regular nod to those listening at home: “...at this time it is my pleasure to welcome to the broadcast all the shut-ins, the pensioners, the blind, and all of those people who can’t get out to watch hockey games.” Robson’s career has been honoured numerous times including induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992 and the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000, Youth EDUCATION PROGRAMS Youth EDUCATION PROGRAMS Youth EDUCATION PROGRAMS Proudly supported by Youth EDUCATION PROGRAMS Honouring The Past. Inspiring The Future. Voices of the Canucks Featuring Vancouver Canucks Broadcasters Tom Larscheid “Bingo, Bango, Bongo they call him Roberto Luongo!” “They look like a bunch of Keystone Cops!” “There’s a freight train on the loose!” “Shake it like a Polaroid picture!” “Oh how Swede it is!” – commenting on the Sedin brothers “Don’t you just love it?” “Move over Stan Smyl, you have some company baby!” - reaction after Trevor Linden ties a record held by the previous Canuck captain Stan Smyl “Call the cops!

Thanks to the generous financial support from the City of Nanaimo, which built this beautiful new convention facility you are presently enjoying, the Nanaimo & District Museum Society now has the space and resources to house the Sports Hall of Fame. The dream of a sports hall of fame in Nanaimo has been nurtured for more than 20 years. It was given a boost in 2004 with the conception of the new museum as well as a fund raising drive augmented by a financial contribu- tion from the BC Games Legacy Fund. In January of this year, with the new museum well under construction, a call for nominations was put out to the region to find the first 10 induct- ees for the new Sports Hall of Fame. That call brought in more than 50 nominations. Thanks to the efforts of museum Board and staff, the SHOF Committee and selection panel, Nanaimo City Council, numerous sponsors and many volunteers, we are here tonight to honour and celebrate the special achieve- ments of our best and brightest athletes. As you leave here tonight, head to the museum lobby to see the new Sports Hall of Fame Wall if you haven't already seen it.
