Rod Phillips

Rod Phillips

Rod Phillips (born in Calmar, Alberta) is a radio broadcaster for 630 CHED in Edmonton, Alberta. Phillips is best known as the play-by-play man of the World Hockey Association and National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers since 1973, succeeding longtime Edmonton Eskimos broadcaster Bryan Hall despite having no experience in the field. Since then, however, he has missed only one game in more than thirty seasons and become an institution in Edmonton. He is most famous for his loud, long scream of "scoooooooooores!!!!!", considered a classic for Oilers fans. In 2003, Phillips received the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Prior to being a hockey broadcaster, Phillips hosted Edmonton's first-ever late-night television show in 1967.

Rod Phillips is the uncle of Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips.Fact|date=February 2007=References=
