Dan Rusanowsky To Receive 2023 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award

Long-time radio broadcaster for the San Jose Sharks Dan Rusanowsky will receive the 2023 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award.

The Hockey Hall of Fame will recognize San Jose Sharks radio voice Dan Rusanowsky with the 2023 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award.

The NHL Broadcasters' Association votes on the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, which is named in honor of the late “Voice of Hockey” in Canada, Foster Hewitt. It was first presented in 1984 in recognition of members of the radio and television industry who have made outstanding contributions to their profession and to the game of hockey.

"Dan has an insatiable love for radio and has been an integral part of promoting the game of hockey in the Bay Area on that medium from day one of the San Jose Sharks’ existence in 1991. He is extremely worthy of this honor,” President of the NHL Broadcasters Association Chuck Kaiton said.

Rusanowsky will receive the award at the “Hockey Hall of Fame NHL Media Awards Luncheon” in Toronto on Mon., Nov. 13, 2023, and his award plaque will be displayed in the Esso Great Hall at the Hockey Hall of Fame alongside past award recipients.
