That they would be a star-driven talk station. Claude informed me that the station was serious about going after CJAD. He wanted to know if I’d be interested in hosting their Drive Home show. Turned out he had just been informed that CIQC was again about to undergo a format change and had just hired Joe Cannon to host their morning show.Ī short time after I arrived back home I received a phone call from Claude Default, who was the general manager at CIQC. While I only heard Elliott’s side of the conversation, I could tell he was excited about something. So Elliott and I were roommates again (as we had been in the 80s living on Marlowe and then at the corner of Sherbrooke and Claremont in NDG). But once Elliott jumped to CIQC and was set up in Florida he suggested that perhaps Blackman and ‘AD would give me a week in the sun as long as they didn’t have to cover the cost of a hotel. There were no plans for CJAD to send me to Expos training camp in the late winter/spring of ’93. With a two year old daughter at home, I yearned for a more normal schedule. I loved the work but not the time consuming hours that went with it, a necessity since a basic salary simply wasn’t enough. I had a blast moderating hockey discussions featuring Dick Irvin, Red Fisher, Steve Shutt and occasionally, Blackman and special guests Dickie Moore and Danny Gallivan. Plus, I was hosting the “Hot Stove” Pre-Game show prior to our Saturday night broadcasts at the Forum. Meanwhile, I was doing everything in the CJAD sports department – hosting the guest heavy talk show, “Sportsphone” from 11:15 until 1 AM covering Habs and Expos games as a reporter working on air weekend shifts with Dave Fisher and filling in for Blackman on the morning show with George Balcan. Elliott and I had been working together at CJAD since 1982. It’s umpteenth format change was to country music. The old CFCF Radio 600, where I worked in 1981, had fallen on hard times. Elliott Price had been hired to work Expos games on the newly rebranded CIQC Radio. My own journey through 1993 began at Expos training camp in late February.

While Burns’s old school, hard ass approach pushed the ’93 Maple Leafs to within a win of the final against his former team, it was Demers’s more player-friendly touch that allowed the Habs to breathe again, free of the tension that existed in Pat’s final year behind the bench in Montreal. The hiring of Demers and the Burns hiring in Toronto was choreographed by Savard and his good friend, the super agent Don Meehan. What was apparent back in ’93 and driven home by the former players we spoke to on the air, is how perfect Demers was to coach them, in the immediate aftermath of Pat Burns. And in fact, on the morning of September 11, 2001, Jacques was with us in the Team 990 (and CHOM) building on Greene Avenue, as we taped a television commercial for the morning show, when the planes hit.

But Jacques helped us so much, appearing every morning at 6:55, so full of energy that it didn’t matter how badly Ted Blackman and I might have been dragging our asses. It wasn’t easy launching Montreal’s first all-sports radio station in May 2001, followed just four months later (as hockey training camps got underway) by the events of 9/11. I just wish we could have spoken to Jacques Demers as well.

We would have won anyway.”), Benoit Brunet, Kirk Muller, Stephane Lebeau, Guy Carbonneau and Serge Savard for sharing their stories on the air in early June. I’d like to acknowledge and thank Gary Leeman (“Leave Marty McSorley alone. Bob Cole, Harry Neale, Dick Irvin and Chris Cuthbert were a sheer delight in the booth, as Chris still is.

Since I covered all the Habs’ home games that spring, plus the entire Stanley Cup Final, I got to see, and listen to, many of these games on TV for the first time. I spent the last week of May (2018) and the first week of June watching as much of the ’93 playoff run that exists. These memories, some a little hazy, come at me in waves.

and Nirvana’s In Utero were both released in ’93), or at least until the next Canadian NHL franchise makes a serious run at the Stanley Cup, I’d like to share and expand on a few more vivid memories of what I was up to before (and after) Guy Carbonneau handed the Cup to Denis Savard at centre ice at the Montreal Forum.
