We only had a Canucks game of the week on TV in the 80’s, it was Jim and my radio.

Robson’s career as a broadcaster began when he was just 17 years old, covering senior men’s basketball for a radio station in Port Alberni, British Columbia. Over the next decades he worked in multiple roles across Canadian radio and television before becoming synonymous with the Vancouver Canucks. When the Canucks joined the NHL as an expansion team in 1970, Robson was named play-by-play announcer and remained in that role until his retirement in 1999, calling more than 2,000 NHL games.
He became known for his clear, passionate delivery and became a beloved figure to generations of hockey fans. Beyond the Canucks, he regularly appeared on Hockey Night in Canada, covered Stanley Cup Finals, All-Star games, and was highly respected across the hockey world.
His contributions to sportscasting were recognized with some of the highest honors in hockey and broadcasting. Robson received the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992 and was inducted into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame, the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. The broadcast booth at Rogers Arena bears his name as a lasting tribute.
Robson was married to his wife Beatrice “Bea” Robson. He is survived by his four children and extended family.
