Cuthbert got his start as a broadcaster during the 1988 Stanley Cup Playoffs . He was positioned as a reporter in New Jersey, providing brief and periodic reports to the national CBC viewing audience watching the Canadian network's game broadcast from Montreal. A power outage struck the Montreal area, and CBC was forced to turn to Cuthbert in New Jersey to provide the full broadcast - play-by-play, analyst, host and everything else. His stellar solo effort caught the network's attention, was nominated for a Gemini Award , and launched what has been a very successful broadcasting career. Prior to joining TSN, Cuthbert was a sportscaster for CBC , where he called Olympic sports, Canadian football, and most notably '' Hockey Night In Canada '' games primarily involving the Montreal Canadiens or NHL teams from Western Canada. In the era of the CBC's Hockey Night In Canada (HNIC) double-headers, Cuthbert usually called the late games. After being let go by the CBC in 2005, his role on HNIC was filled by Rogers Sportsnet announcer Jim Hughson . Cuthbert's contract was terminated by the CBC while the network endured the 2004/05 NHL lockout. Cuthbert was also the lead play-by-play voice of the CFL On CBC , broadcasting the Grey Cup Championship each November. After joining TSN in the spring of 2005, Cuthbert became TSN's lead football voice, replacing TSN-original John Wells . Cuthbert also serves as the network's secondary hockey play-by-play voice, working aside analyst Glenn Healy . With NBC, Cuthbert works alongside analyst Peter McNab for regional NHL broadcasts. In 1998, Cuthbert won a Gemini Award for Best Sports Broadcaster, and in 2004, was recognized by Sports Media Canada as Sportscaster of the Year. |
