Jim Ralph

Profile

Jim Ralph is best known for his dry, self-deprecating humour and wit and his comical impersonations of famous Canadians, including Foster Hewitt, Danny Gallivan, Brian Williams, Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky. Retiring from hockey in 1989 after seven years with the Chicago Blackhawks as goaltender, Jim began his broadcasting career by cohosting Rinkside, a weekly half-hour hockey show on TSN. He was a sports reporter for the Global Television Network’s Sportsline for six years and was cohost of Molson Leaf Hockey, also on Global. Today he covers the Toronto Maple Leafs as colour commentator. His insightful observations and entertaining anecdotes keep fans entertained and informed simultaneously. Jim has spoken at dozens of events, including the Conn Smythe Celebrity Sports Dinner. He also presided at Wayne Gretzky’s star-studded slow-pitch baseball tournament, as well as at an annual “Meet-the-Leafs” luncheon and at the Hockey News’ awards banquet.
