A classic footprint in the sands of Canadian Sports Broadcasting.

Dave used to come into the HMV I worked at. One day as I was cashing him out, the pen I was using stopped working. I casually flung it over my shoulder and grabbed another. He seemed pretty annoyed with me after that and I had no idea why. My partner at the cash laughed after he left and explained to me why he was pissed... man I felt bad.

At the time,I somehow missed this,but I gradually noticed over the weeks that Dave Hodge had been phased out.

I'll never forget watching this live and wondering what the heck was going on. In understand Dave's frustration that night.

@JBatts41 Apparently this was the second time in the same day this happened with CBC regarding sports coverage. Earlier in the day, the network decided to cut away from the final end of a Brier curling match to go to coverage of an NDP convention.

@skinwalkerxxx Well, he was soon replaced as host by Ron Maclean, so he pretty much was fired for this.

Always Like Dave Hodge.....

when Dave Hodge flipped his pen

Priceless reaction by Dave Hodge.
I doubt that Dave Hodge took the pen. If he did, the CBC would have railroaded him in court for stealing office supplies.
Seriously though, I doubt the pen was on anyone's mind at all.

@Rick951 On a broadcast of Classic Leafs TV, a game from Dec 11, 1971, Hodge is the special guest and talks about his first night.
