There's ARGUABLY two big events when it comes to the Canadian sports TV calendar. The NHL & CFL championships
I'm trying to think of another announcer that has called a Stanley Cup Final and Grey Cup, aside from Chris Cuthbert.
The list of HNIC #1 announcers is pretty short - the Hewitts, Gallivan, Cole, Hughson - but I don't think they did much football.
Don Whitman was the voice of the CFL for years, but I don't recall him ever doing past a Campbell Conference Final. John Wells was mostly a host for HNIC.
Unless there's someone from CTV that called the Grey Cup when both CBC & CTV had the game and then worked those couple of weird years in the 80's when CTV did some of the Stanley Cup games, but I seem to recall they usually brought Dan Kelly in for that. Ron Reusch might be the only possible name, but again I don't recall him doing play by play on a Stanley Cup.
If so, congratulations to Chris on the Canadian Broadcasting milestone. If not, I'd love to hear who I'm not thinking of.

Don Wittman did Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final in 1986, and of course plenty of Grey Cups.
