Two good Canadians gone.

Never a fan of Jeoparday! unless really bored but 36 years on a hit quiz show (not a game show according to him) is quite the achievement.

As for Howie, unless you are older and a hockey fan you want know who he is. Suffice to say he has been missed and will be more now.
 
R.I.P. to both men. Sincere condolences to their family, friends, and loved ones.

As a child I have a lot of memories of Howie Meeker. What great careers both men had and I can't imagine the number if you somehow tabulated the hours they were on TV.
 
who remembers Howie during the intermissions?
he had that little wooden ring and the skaters

he'd move them around to explain what what went right or wrong with the play
in the days before video replay

I grew up outside Ottawa watching the Leafs play and after a period of Sittler and Salming on came Howie. You just brought back a flood of happy memories for me. I had forgotten about that.
 
But who remembers Howie McMeeker?
 
RIP Howie. I remember the rink and the skaters. Does anyone remember the Howie Meeker Hockey School on CBC? I was just a kid so it must have been in the 70's.

Too bad about Alex Trebek. There was great documentary about him on ABC last night. What a nice guy.
