Sad news for fans of legendary hockey broadcaster Bob Cole.

He has passed away at the age of 90.

Hockey fans listened to his play-by-play for a half-century on "Hockey Night in Canada,'' the 1972 Summit Series, and the 2002 Olympic final in Salt Lake City to name a few.

Cole also served as quiz master on ``Reach for the Top'' and worked for the Newfoundland government.

He died last night at his home in St. John's.
