Longtime commentator honoured for sportscasting career
White Rock's Jim Hughson, a longtime play-by-play commentator who enjoyed a 42-year career that includes a dozen Stanley Cup finals, two World Series and two Olympic Games, is being inducted in the media category.
"I'm extremely honoured and humbled," Hughson said of his induction, noting while he had to move to Toronto for his career, he moved back to B.C. in 1994, settling on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, where he enjoys oceanside walks whenever he's able."It's a spectacular place to live." Hughson did highlight the Sochi Canadian National Team – both the men's and women's hockey squads won gold in hockey that year.Hughson said it was difficult to name just one game or moment as a highlight, as he had the privilege of experiencing so many memorable games and moments, from Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Olympics to the World Series.
