[mattola]

57 is way too young (as in younger than me). RIP Dutchy. As always, eff cancer,

terrible loss. Always liked Dutch. RIP. I will never forget how giddy and excited he was as he broke out the champagne during the interview when Alex Bilodeau won gold for the first time in Canada. he was like a little kid and just made that an even more memorable moment. much love to his family.

Darren Dutchyshen: 1966 - 2024 - TSN.ca

We will be honouring Dutch here at TSN over the coming days, as some of his closest friends and co-workers will share their stories about what made him truly one of a kind.

“He passed as he was surrounded by his closest loved ones,” the Dutchyshen family said. “His sharp wit remained until his final moments, classically delivering plenty of jokes – most of them pretty good and all of them inappropriate.”

Oh Dutchy

I remember one night Dutchy was on the SportsCentre desk and it was after Troy Westwood (kicker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers) called people from Saskatchewan "banjo picking inbreds". The Riders went on to demolish the Bombers in the revenge game (henceforth known as the Banjo Bowl) and Dutchy (who is/was from Saskatchewan) turned to his co-host Jennifer Hedger and said "Pass me my banjo Jen, I feel a song coming on".

This is both hilarious and so sad

He was really good in a lot of things. I really liked a series he was on called Buffalo Bill.

I remember thinking he was a massive asshole in War Games.

Now, I kind of look up to him.

Replace "War Games" with "9 to 5" and it still kinda works
