The Hockey Hall of Fame just honored two big names in NHL media—François Gagnon and Daryl Reaugh—with its annual media awards. Gagnon, a longtime Quebec hockey journalist, and Reaugh, the beloved Dallas Stars color commentator, were recognized for their outstanding contributions to hockey broadcasting and reporting. Think of it as a lifetime achievement nod for folks who’ve made the game more entertaining and insightful for fans.
Editor’s Note: Awards like this might fly under the radar for casual fans, but they’re a big deal in the hockey world. Gagnon and Reaugh have spent decades shaping how we talk about the sport—whether through sharp analysis or Reaugh’s famously quirky commentary ("The puck is like a greased pig at a county fair!"). It’s a reminder that great media voices don’t just cover the game; they become part of its fabric.
