During his earlier years, Don Cherry played hockey and eventually became a coach. When he got too old for the coaching job, he landed a deal with CBC to do a piece called Coach's Corner, a five-minute talk between periods of hockey games about the game currently being broadcast, about other games, and about hockey-related news. Coach's Corner has been around for over 25 years now, and Cherry has become something of a legend in Canada. Just about everyone in Canada knows who he is, or at least knows his name. Thanks to sattelite TV, he is also becoming known in the US. Even Canadian solders stationed in Iraq have special cable service so they can watch Coach's Corner. Cherry's comedic yet serious talks about current hockey issues make Coach's Corner great to watch, even if your team is losing.
