from Ian MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun,
Tom Larscheid had his ace on Wednesday. Vancouver Canuck hockey fans had their ace for most of the last 33 years.
It is the end of an era for the National Hockey League club and broadcasting in Vancouver as the Team 1040 is replacing Larscheid with analyst Dave Tomlinson on its radio broadcasts next season.
An under-sized running back from California who moved to Vancouver to play football in 1962 and never left, Larscheid’s remarkable reign over the airwaves here is unlikely to be repeated either in duration or style.
He was the colour-man on Vancouver hockey broadcasts for all but four NHL seasons since 1977, and for more than a generation of hockey fans Larscheid’s insight and instincts provided a blunt barometer of the team’s performance – good or bad.
