His father and two of his uncles were sports journalists. At the age of 13 he started working for a newspaper called Toronto News, and by 20 became its sports editor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">On March 22, 1923, Hewitt called his first hockey game (with Radio station CFCA started in 1922), an intermediate hockey playoff game between a team from Kitchener and one from Toronto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">But it was at that game that his famous phrase &#8220;he shoots, he scores!&#8221; was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">At his peak, Foster Hewitt was probably the most recognized voice in Canada. His audiences numbered six million &#8212; one third of the population of Canada at the time &#8212; and he received 90,000 fan letters each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">Hewitt is reputed to have never missed a game, calling over 5,000 sporting events in his career.\u00a0Foster Hewitt received many accolades over his life. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965, named to the Order of Canada in 1972 and was also a member of the Canada Sports Hall of Fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">Foster Hewitt died April 21, 1985 at 83 years of age. In 1989, he was inducted into the CAB Broadcast Hall of Fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\">Sources:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/radio\/rewind\/foster-hewitt-the-birth-of-hockey-1.2801242\">CBC &#8211;
