For those who grew up watching 90's hockey, he was THE voice of hockey in America. When he would call a goal, it wouldn't matter if it was a regular season game or game 7 of the Finals. He made games more enjoyable for me as a fan. He and Clement were a great team.
Sadly, after the lockout, the league went in a different direction. I believe he's still calling baseball games today for the Orioles. He called Frozen Four games as recently as a few years ago. Some LA Kings games several years ago as well.
I would watch more hockey today if Thorne was still calling the games. Maybe the ultimate compliment you can give an announcer.
Where do you rate him compared to the all-time greats?
