Joe Bowen, the iconic voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has announced his retirement following the 2025-2026 NHL season after 44 years. He expressed his gratitude for the support of fans and highlighted reaching over 3,800 games as a milestone in his career. Known for his distinctive catchphrases, particularly "Holy Mackinaw!", Bowen’s broadcasting journey included radio and regional TV work. His aspiration is to see the Leafs win the Stanley Cup in his final season, marking a storybook ending to his illustrious career.
After 44 years of being the voice of your Toronto Maple Leafs, I have decided the 2025-26 season will be my last behind the microphone.
Most of all, thank you to the loyal group [known] as Leaf Nation, for allowing me to invade your vehicle, family room and hearts over these wonderful years!
