I think my first comment will be: I missed you. I missed this league. And I miss the sport. It’s been my life’s work for the most part. This is my 30th season with the team. I’m 62 years old. I don’t suspect I have another career in me. I don’t expect to do anything other than what I do now. So this is what I do. And it’s part of my identity, as well, like all of us in what we do.
-Randy Hahn, TV play-by-play man for the San Jose Sharks, when asked, Have you considered what you might say to the fans when you come on the air for the first game? by Lisa Dillman of The Athletic. More (paid) broadcasters as they prepare for this season. Remember, they will be calling road games from a monitor.
Another tidbit from Hahn, his girlfriend owns a cupcake shop in San Jose...
From the middle of March until the end of July, I would get up every day and go to the shop, load up a tiny little boxy car called a Scion. I would just literally deliver cupcakes every day. It was funny because sometimes it would be Sharks fans getting them. Even with a mask on, they go, “Wait a minute. Are you Randy Hahn? I can’t believe it.”
