[CoolioFunk]

Damn, sad news to see this morning. Pretty well grew up with the guy always being on TSN, seemed like a great dude, RIP Dutchy.

 

[loadie]

Remember him back in his ITV days in Edmonton was one of the first sports guys I watched growing up.

RIP

Same here. I moved to Edmonton and when I saw him on ITV I said to my GF that he was too good to stay on the local TV, he was going places. I loved listening and watching him, so much fun and so much sports knowledge. It’s a sad day.

RIP Dutchie

RIP - good broadcaster, super underrated, don't-know-what-you-got-till-it's gone type of guy.

 

[DopeyFish]

wow wtf

he's THE sportscaster

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Dutchy was a f***ing legend. Growing up watching him I always loved his broadcast style first and foremost and have heard tons of stories of his genuineness and kindness off the camera.

The world lost an amazing one. Rest in Power Dutch

Oh shit didn't expect this one.

Remember him back in his ITV days in Edmonton was one of the first sports guys I watched growing up.

Same. Grew up with Dutch getting his start on ITV and was always was one of the best.

RIP Dutch

Very sad news , RIP dutchy

 

[Love]

 

[CanadienShark]

Sad news. He was a staple of hockey commentary for me growing up.

 

[NineteenSixtyFive]

This is very sad. I felt like I knew him, having watched him for so many years on the sports desk. He was always entertaining, but I never felt like he made it about himself. One of the best to ever do that job, IMO. A year younger than me. Way too young.

 

[Eegs]

Bah! Very sad. RIP big guy.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Was he not just on like a week ago?

Remember guys, don't ignore what your body tells you and be your own health advocate! Get tested. As simple as a blood test these days.

 

[Tuggy]

Dutchy was awesome. One of the best.

Very sad and way too young.

RIP

 

[Dr Pepper]

So sad, Dutch was at TSN for longer than I can remember.

He was a lifer..... and also the victim of some pretty cringeworthy Pierre McGuire moments.

As a kid I remember watching him on ITV's Sportsnight in his early years. Always liked him. One of the funnier things I remember was as a teen I was watching highlights....Rangers vs Islanders. They go to OT. He wraps it up with "And New York comes up with the win!" LOL

Knew what he meant cause of the video, but it was funny.

Was he not just on like a week ago?

He had cancer treatment a couple years back but there was cancer still all throughout his body.

He made the decision to just keep working even though he knew he was expiring. Legend.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Grew up watching him on Sportscentre before school as a kid, RIP to a great.

 

[snag]

ROFLMA. Dutchyisms were the best.

 

[Chainshot]

Condolences to his friends and family. Certainly too young.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

One of the best on TSN, a Canadian broadcasting legend. R.I.P Dutchy!
