Scott Oake, born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, is a Canadian sportscaster for CBC Sports.

Oake was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia and raised in Sydney until the age of 14, when his family moved to Newfoundland [ [http://www.capebretonpost.com/index.cfm?sid=165186&sc=146 Oake’s Olympic Swan Song?] ] . He was a pre-med student at Memorial University of Newfoundland who volunteered at the campus radio station. After part-time work at CBC St. John's, he was hired full-time in 1974.

Scott was the sports anchor on CBWT's "24Hours" from 1979 till about 1989.

Oake is probably best known as a contributor to "Hockey Night in Canada", the CBC's flagship television show for NHL games. Since the 2003-04 season, he has hosted the second game of HNIC's Saturday night double-headers alongside analyst Kelly Hrudey.

Along with hockey, he has covered many important sporting events including the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, CFL football, and many other sports.

Oake currently lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He and his wife Anne have two sons, Bruce and Darcy.
