What a thrill! Today I had the privilege of interviewing Ron MacLean. Ron is in North Bay this weekend as part of Rogers Hometown Hockey. This was really exciting for me. Not just because of the hockey angle but because of how much I respect Ron as a broadcaster.

Here’s our full unedited conversation where we talk about radio, the time on Coach’s Corner where he truly thought they would end up in actual legal trouble, and the one time he got emotional while broadcasting a sporting event.

You can see Ron this weekend at Discovery North Bay with Rogers Hometown Hockey. Activities run Saturday from noon until 6pm and Sunday from 2pm until the end of the hockey game between the Oilers and Canucks. (The national broadcast begins at 8:30pm).
