The Dragons annual banquet on February 20 has a special guest attending this year. The voice of the Calgary Flames, Peter Maher, will be making an appearance and giving a few of his insights to those in attendance.
Maher has been announcing for the Flames since they moved to Calgary in 1980 and has witnessed some of the most iconic moments in Flames history, including the series-winning blunder by Steve Smith in game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers. It was that goal when Maher’s catch phrase “yeah baby” was coined.
In 2006, Maher was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a media honouree. In 2010, Maher was also the voice of Roger’s Olympic hockey broadcast.
Maher will give a speech to everyone assembled following the annual award presentations to the Dragons.
To attend the Dragons banquet and have a chance to meet Maher, call the Dragons office at 403-823-2022.
