Each year, the NHL Broadcasters' Association decerns the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in recognition of radio and television industry members who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and the game of hockey. This year, the winner is none other than the French voice of Montreal Canadiens' hockey: Pierre Houde (from “Hockey Hall Fame honours Canadiens announcer Pierre Houde of RDS”, The Gazette, May 31, 2024). Foster Hewitt is often described as a pioneer and a trailblazer and is an important name in Canada's broadcasting history.
