Saw that a while ago on Twitter.

I remember watching him on TSN early in his career doing sports centre. One of the best at that. Seemed like a great guy.

Rest easy.

Wow, this is surprising, so young. He looked like a guy who liked to go to the gym and had a great persona.

RIP

Just saw that. Terrible news. He was very young. Condolences to his family.

I believe this was unexpected? I don't think it was known he was sick?

Super fast acting cancers are a new normal. I liked his work. Shitty deal for him and his family.

RIP you will be missed.
Love those announcers with such a great unique voice. Like Bob Cole as well. The world knows who they are as soon as they start talking.

I had no idea he was even battling cancer, guy was as tough as nails and one of my favorites to listen to. Rip.

It just donned on me that he's basically been the voice of highlights & sportscenter for probably as long as I've been a fan of sports in this country.

What a massive, massive loss for Canadian sport. This sucks. I can practically hear his voice joking around with Hedger

Sad news. Got to meet Dutchy a few times and talked a little puck with him. Good dude. RIP Dutchy.

Tragic. RIP Dutchy

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Only 57 years old. Too young. He was great on Sportscentre and he had a real presence when hosting. RIP and condolences to his family.

So sad! I thought he was in-remission, didn’t he return to work recently?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

I loved his energy, and honestly was a fan of his voice too. This sucks, he was so young.

RIP my dude. You will be missed.

As he says in here when he first came back, this isnt the kind of cancer where you get to ring a bell.

Guy was a gem, maybe my favourite sportscenter anchor. Watched a lot of him growing up watching sportscenter highlights before school.

Rest easy big guy.

 

[LeafSteel]

Surprising and upsetting news.

Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

F!ck you cancer.
