Don Cherry is a very old Canadian-born broadcaster for CBC. He is out of his mind. He has an endless wardrobe of absurd suits, and he makes at least two politically incorrect statements between every commercial break.
In 1992 he was almost sued for referring to the Finnish Assistant Coach of the Winnipeg Jets, Alpo Suhonen, as "some kind of dog food".
In January of 2004, on the subject of helmet visors, Don Cherry said on Coach's Corner "Most of the guys that wear them are Europeans and French guys." This instigated many French-Canadian protests and forced the network to institute a 7 second delay for Hockey Night Canada. However, a study was soon thereafter published proving that the majority of helmet visor users in the NHL were indeed French and European.
So, although Don Cherry acts and dresses insanely, and angrily asserts his opinion on controversial issues, I think there is always something to take away from his show. Maybe its a politically incorrect statement that we all know is true but won't admit it, or maybe its a hard-to-come-by-instance where he actually provides useful insight on hockey. If not, you're at least guaranteed a good laugh at his attire....Thank you Don Cherry.
