Pat Foley Last Calls on Air

[@greathoonta3461]

He’s so incredibly humble and kind. Pat will forever and always be the best announcer in Hawks history, and probably the NHL as well

[@drewwilson427]

It isn't hockey without Pat Foley

[@jyynarpalisenniemi6242]

Damn :( such a great voice, we Hawks fans will most surely miss Pat.

[@stevenboss8624]

It's gonna be weird without him.

[@MrBiteme39]

I fucking cried like a bitch and I'm proud of it My whole life I've heard this mans voice on 720 WGN I went to my first game and actually met him when I was 4 or 5 and also got a shinny stick signed by chelly himself, the two legends were so nice to me and I still remember it to this day 23 years later

[@trvman1]

and the odds are, he will be replaced by a woman who won't have anywhere near the experience that other MALES have. Just look at other NHL teams. In early to mid-20's with little experience getting on air jobs and they STINK at it.

[@broadstreetbullies849]

Pat Foley: the Hawks only real win

[@John-qt9bi]

Yeah it is now.

[@Charlie-qe6lv]

Best announcer in all of sports, not just hockey. He really got me excited and into games. Really, really sad to see him retire.

[@mikewidyk4186]

They haven’t been winning much lately. Luckily they won on his last call, made the moment more special. 😊

[@jakeadams9353]

Foley has been apart of my life since 91. The voice that made me fall in love with the Blackhawks

[@colorado8avalanche]

I’m literally getting hit in the feelings with this

[@MrJal67]

Finally saw this...not gonna cry, not gonna cry...best voice in sports, my best memories revolve around listening to him. "WE HOPE YOU LIKE THE BROADCAST, WE KNOW YOU LIKED THE OUTCOME!!!"

[@jonruffolo]

Jesus this just hit me so hard with nostalgia. the fact that we'll never hear those words after a hawks win again... its not the same. never will be again.

[@zerubbablestranger6970]

So Pat Foley joins Rick Jennertte in retirement this year… WOW! What a blessing that I was able to hear them both before they retired. Thanks for the memories….

[@shanelocke5504]

One of the most iconic voices in all of hockey commentary! Hats off to a great career Foley! Also 0:51 THRASHERS JERSEY SPOTTED. Don't see many of those nowadays.

[@zachboylan6694]

I was at his goodbye party after the game. Such a nice guy and one of the greatest announcers ever

[@ljlava]

A 54 year old Flyers fan. In the early Eighties the Flyers played on am 610 and i was able to listen to the Hawks games right next to them on the am dial. Gene Hart was a great announcer but I put Pat #1 Hart #2. (.Bannermann done it again) was greatest call of all time

[@dibbletiki6077]

No one will ever do it better than Pat Foley

[@vollhockeypucks2851]

Pat Foley, what an incredible 39 years! Hawks win, Hawks win!! One of the all-time best, rides off into the sunset!

[@LRM724]

It was hard to hold in the tears 😭 when at age 11 in 1980 to my age now age 53 when Pat Foley's voice bring hockey back to this Mexican kid after Lloyd Petit & the Blackhawks left WGN in 1972(the 1rst time)1973-1980 were silent years then WIND-560, SPORTSVISION, WBBM-780, Sports channel ,Fox Sports Chicago CSN etc. Foley was the best in sports

[@mohawkmike142]

Rick Jenerette and Pat Foley...two of the best ever now retired. Big shoes to fill. Foley was THE best hockey fight caller ever.

[@Nightrain76]

For some reason my market got Blackhawk games on the channel SportsCjannel in the early 90’s. Pat is a legend and one of the best all-time.

[@michaelhogg324]

3 WORDS THANK YOU PAT! You are going to be missed and I hope that we can meet up again soon!

[@peterporker7803]

I miss this guy already along with Mike Emrick these guys made the game exciting to listen to.

[@D0VES0AP]

im 20 so pat foley was my whole childhood watching the hawks

[@m1sterhockey]

I am 56 years old from MInnesota. I remember listening to him back on WIND and followed him whatever station had the Hawks ever since. Although a North Stars fan, I would love hearing him call games. Heck! Our whole division had great announcers. Al Shaver, Dan Kelly, and Bruce Martin as well. Another voice gone. Hockey will not be the same without him.

[@javelldunn3379]

Goodbye Pat Foley for the amazing 39 years miss you very much good luck to you retirement ❤

[@abrahamavila4921]

That day San Jose vs Blackhawks pat foley last call was awesome I was there with my sister

[@gigglybits200]

i met him when i was a kid in 2007 i believe it was when he was commentating for the chicago wolves. he was such a nice and humble man. i was really hoping he would end with his usual “hope you enjoyed the broadcast i know you enjoyed the outcome”

[@RadioMan1230AM]

As a 10 year old, listening to my first Blackhawks games on WIND-560AM (straining my old kitchen AM radio on the NW Side of Chicago), I got my first taste of what would become the Voice of my Sports Life in Chicago (and beyond) for the next 42 years... voices like Pat Foley, Jack Brickhouse, Vin Scully, Jim Durham and Wayne Larrivee would fuel my dream of working in the same medium... and while my success hasn't reached the levels of these men... their work continues to inspire and motivate myself and countless others to enter broadcasting... thank you to all those mentioned... and thank you for all the memories, Pat... all the best to you!

[@JeffHulkHemp]

Pat Foley is the best and is missed .

[@desklamp1175]

Thank you Mr. Foley. Too many memories to count.

[@BucsRaysBolts]

One of the GOATs

[@ryanclune3649]

Thank you for everything Pat! Can’t describe how much your calls meant to me growing up.

[@curtismanley3459]

Going to be sad to not hear Pat Foley as the voice of the Blackhawks on TV along with all of his great lines to include "Hawks Win!!!"

[@teamendeavor20]

You have no idea how happy I was when he got to say hawks win one more time

[@R3v0kt]

I had to miss the end of the game for DnD so thank you for posting this. I'm 38 years old and have listened to Pat as long as I can remember.

[@MrBiteme39]

Bruh You're like hermione Sort out your fucking priorities. DnD will never ever change or go away People who are real will.

[@dennissprague2572]

I’m not a hawks fan but I always enjoyed listening to pat call a game. He’s been the best for a long time.

[@lucaswald8905]

I love pat! What a amazing career.

Pat Foley is a legend Thank you 😊 for 39 years. And I am so proud 🥹 of you best annoucer EVER.

I use to pick him up on radio in the late 80s -90s in my car when I would tune it just right. Great man

[@BigLouUSAF_VET]

Thanks for posting this. I was working, so I missed it. It's much appreciated!

[@hedguy3609]

No problem!

[@savvy1803]

LEGEND !

[@Mattcruzedc]

Growing up in the Toronto area I didn’t get to hear a ton of Pat Foley. But the times I did, he was one of the absolute best. I grew up watching the leafs, so for me, Bob Cole was the voice of hockey. But Pat Foley will always be right next to him.

[@soheilshabani2248]

It's amazing how time passes by you will be missed Thank you for 39 years Their will never ever be another PAT FOLEY Have fun in retirement. Will see you again

[@sylvainbeaulieu6300]

My favorite Pat Foley moment was in the mid-80's with Dale Talon when they were both talking about the upcoming road trip of the Hawks listing all the games. Then there was complete silence for about 5 seconds and Pat Foley said : "DO WE HAVE TO GO TO WINNIPEG" 😂😂😂

[@OldRustySteele]

I remember one time Dale Tallon said, “Winnipeg. That’s where they have 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad skating.”

[@rendragmedia]

It was unfortunate Pat did not get to do more national network telecasts. Fox gave him some regional assignments in 1990s.

[@ALLANBINSLEY]

Pat Foley retired after the 2022 season too? 39 years? Between him and Rick Jeanneret in Buffalo, 51 years, you don't find play-by-play announcers who last with one team that long.

[@Hawk-eyTown]

5:15 that’s me, next to the tall guy with his phone

I would retire too, the way Blackhawks play, God help us

[@warrengauthier4699]

Goddamn it Foley, could you not just go one more year to an even 40? I am not a fan of most US hockey announcers but Eddie & Pat were great together.

[@geoff3103]

You just answered your own question. Danny Wirtz fired Pat for making two un-pc (in Danny's opinion) comments on the air. I mean who else retires one season shy of 40 years when you're in good health?

[@warrengauthier4699]

@Geoff : What were the un pc comments? If anyone should be fired, it should be the tool that does Bruins games. He always sounds drunk plus makes stupid comments about opposing players. The latest one was him basically fat shaming Patrick Maroon for a good solid minute when he should have been doing play by play.

[@geoff3103]

@@warrengauthier4699 Foley said " “Ortega, who sounds like he ought to be a shortstop ... .” And the other was “Had I been traveling with the team this year, I might have put a bullet in my head,” he said during the Stars' 5-4 overtime win. "I wouldn't even have had access to the player lounge." Yep. He got fired.

[@warrengauthier4699]

@Geoff : Wow those are rough comments but these days it takes little to get fired. Just look at the Don Cherry incident on Coach's Corner. He was at the CBC for 40 years and even US networks tried to poach him. So much for loyalty.

[@MrJal67]

If those are true, and I have no reason to believe they arent, damn...thats twice he was fired for speaking his mind about lackluster play from the Hawks...

danny had nothing to do with pat he retired on his own terms but Eddie is 100% the wirtz family’s fault because he said it was something to so with contract negotiations its not confirmed but i think the wirtz family was trying to save a few bucks and stiff eddie

[@geoff3103]

@@D0VES0AP Danny had everything to do it. Don't kid yourself. It his team. Rocky wouldn't have fired Pat. That leaves Danny. Danny got his panties in a bind because Pat said some un-pc things. In the days after Danny showed his cards too much by being so vocal and attacking Pat in the press.

[@geoff3103]

@@D0VES0AP please. Pat makes peanuts in the grand scheme. Denying a broadcaster his 40th season is done out of malice, and Danny suffers from an extreme case of white guilt. He fired him. No two ways about it.

[@grayhudson1095]

always loved Pat Foley but him pulling a Darren Pang on Chelios night and emphatically declaring Chris Chelios "the best American player ever" - basically taking a huge shot at Kane in his return game, rather than truly offering good faith praise of Chelios - was extremely disappointing and a rather significant betrayal of a player who did more for Foley's legacy as an announcer than literally every other player combined.
