Peter Maher, a legendary radio voice of the Calgary Flames , has passed away at the age of 79.
Maher became the first-ever radio voice of the Flames in 1980 when the team moved to Calgary from Atlanta, then called the team for 33 straight seasons until his retirement following 2013-14.
He was the voice of the Flames during their only Stanley Cup championship in 1989, as well as their run to the Cup Final in 2004.
Maher's trademark calls of “Yeah, baby!” and “You can put it in the win column!” became a staple for Calgary hockey fans over the years.
