It was a huge day for Canadian hockey, as our men’s Olympic team won again in comeback fashion to clinch a spot in Sunday’s gold medal game.

So on tonight’s episode of Closer Look, we’re going to stay on the ice.

If you haven’t heard already, the legendary voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs — Joe Bowen — is retiring at the end of this season after more than four decades behind the mic. On Family Day, he travelled to his hometown of Sudbury, where he was the guest of honour at a Sudbury Wolves game.

The best part? He joined his son, David, in the broadcast booth to call the game.

On tonight's podcast, we revisit our in-depth interview with Bowen, who chatted with us back in December.

Hosted by Village Media’s Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.
