The Big Idea
When thinking of the Vancouver Canucks, how often do you think about the broadcasters who bring us the games on radio each and every week? Without the voices of these great people, hockey would not be what it is today. It is the great broadcasters of the Vancouver Canucks who make the great game come to life for all to enjoy. Names like Jim Robson, Tom Larscheid, John Shorthouse, and Jim Hughson are synonymous with the Canucks.
