Peter Maher: Voice of the Flames | Calgary News

The Calgary Flames are heartbroken to announce the passing of Peter Maher, their legendary radio voice and beloved ambassador, at age 79. For over 30 years, from 1980 until his final broadcast in 2024, Maher’s passionate calls defined the team’s sound — especially during their iconic 1989 Stanley Cup run. A Hockey Hall of Fame media honouree, Foster Hewitt Award winner, and recipient of honors from Alberta and New Brunswick sports halls, Maher also brought Olympic hockey to life in Vancouver in 2010. Known for his infectious energy and iconic phrases like “Yeah baby” and “You can put it in the win column,” he became a symbol of joy for Flames fans. Even after retirement, his legacy lives on — the Saddledome’s booth now bears his name, and the annual Peter Maher Award celebrates players who embody his core values: sincerity, integrity, dedication, and respect.
