Tim Horton’s should bring back the Dutchie permanently and donate a portion of sales to cancer research/prostate cancer research. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. The Pride of Porcupine Plain, Darren Dutchyshen. Rest in Peace
I remember waking up early in the morning before school as a kid in the 90's to watch the Sportsdesk highlights with Dutch. Every single morning I would watch. Didn't care if it was Hockey, baseball, or what, he captivated me with the highlights with his epic calls and hilarious one-liners. Thanks for the memories and getting me to love sports, Dutchy.
As a kid in Saskatchewan watching sports with Dutchy and Jennifer Hedger was the only way I would watch highlights and interviews. What a great pair, great representative of our province and great man.
Will miss this legend 😢It was hard to have bad day watching him on tv, he always had this contagious smile/ expression that made me want to smile as well.
Glad i got to shake this legends hand when he came to my town for kraft hockey ville ill hold that memory forever. RIP thanks for taking the time to say hello and banter about the leafs
Goodbye to a master. Western Canada born and bred powerhouse. An absolute must watch and listen every night to wrap the days' highlights. Tonight, Canadians everywhere salute TSN's 'showstopper'. A fan from the beginning, Jimmy Cauchon and horserace lovers everywhere, say thank you. r.i.p. Dutch.
There are certain onscreen personalities that you could see they loved their job. It was never a job for them. I pray for his family and friends, even the people that met him throughout his life. He will remain in our hearts for a long time. My absolute favourite promo? Of course it is "Rodsky & Dutch"! I get a good laugh & now a tear coming to my eye.
A voice you remember! At first, when I read that the guy is dead, I thought: who?? But when I heard the voice... :-( Really sad to hear him pass away. One of the best at TSN... ever! RIP!
Man, growing up since he first started in 1995 which I'll never forget the voice and energy! The voice remains the same before death and the excitement as he loves sports! Cancer may win but we will always remember our great times during the era! Damn you cancer! RIP!
RIP my child hood legend.. from sportscentre to tsn, from raptors winning to the maple leafs losing you are always commentating.. fuck lifes just telling me im getting old.. i love you all, sports fans till we pass, and legends like this make the games better, will miss his humor.
When I was a kid in Nova Scotia in the early 80s, I only had access to tv stations that were accessible via antenna. CBC Halifax, CTV Halifax, and because I was somewhat close to New Brunswick, we could sometimes get a channel from there (usually with snow). THEN, my father brought home a device that allowed us to get maybe six extra channels. It was via antenna because some guy set up a company with satellite dishes that pulled in channels from far away and he rebroadcasted them locally. It gave us a couple of the main US networks from the upper east USA, one from Hamilton (CHCH - Jim Hughson did regional Leafs games then!), and some from western Canada. One was ITV (Edmonton), which had The Dutch doing sports. He was pretty young but he definitely belonged. He was great then and especially great on TSN! RIP The Dutch!
Leg End... aka Drumstick... aka chicken legs? Sportsnight was never the same without him and now the world won't be either. One of the greats because sports is supposed to be fun. RIP
I had wondered why he put on a bunch of weight, dude was always jacked, didn’t know he was diagnosed with cancer 😔 you’ll be missed by so many, Dutchy, gone far, far too soon..
It's a Saskatchewan thing apparently. Hedger was talking about how he says "BUREES" on the first SportsCentre after he passed. She tried to get him to say "BURY" (Barry) but he refused. RIP DUTCH.
RIP to an absolute legend. Thanks for making my childhood so memorable

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. The Pride of Porcupine Plain, Darren Dutchyshen.
Rest in Peace
That's a great idea!
Hell yes! I loved enjoying a Dutchie this past spring
Tim Hortons would never do something so generous and thoughtful.

omg yes! I remember doing exactly this!
Grew up on his iconic SC Top 10 commentary. Rest easy Dutch.
Such a gem! So glad he was part of our lives.

My mom knew him growing up. His parents lived near her and still do
Never missed a top 10 at 7:52 every weekday before school
Gonna miss you Dutchy 😢💙

ITV News in Edmonton was the news we watched when I was a kid, and right there were Darren Dutchyshen and Bill Matheson. Sad day to have lost Dutchy.
This hit me hard. Dutchy is a part of my youth watching highlights on TSN back in the 90's. Loved his banter and commentary. RIP to one of the best

I'm an 80's baby and while many might remember Mr. Rogers, Dutchy was my voice. RIP, legend.

I totally recall Dutchy doing the combine drills back in the day! Wish I can find and watch the whole clip. RIP
He had that Pinball Clemons energy around him
Thank you for everything Dutch. Rest well
Good bye Dutch.We'll all miss you dearly
Thank you dutchy

I will miss his great sense of humor. I will also miss his HON candidate picks. I will miss everything about Dutch. He was so good. RIP
Love this guy!
Taken away from us way too soon. Rest in peace Dutchy.
Rest in paradise Dutch. You were a legend brother!
THE best. No question.
Rip Dutchie, my condolences and prayers for his family and friends.
My heart aches
RIP. He was the best.

To Dutch, Da best of his era doing what he did eh!
This video should be 20+ minutes long
💪🏻❤️🙏🏻

1:37 Roasted lol
Too young.
On June 16th, 2021 Dutch posted on twitter he was fully vaccinated......"Safe & effective" folks.
you need to go find somewhere else to run your mouth
And yet prostate cancer is a common disease for men in that age group.
AntiVax M0r0n has spoken.
I grew with Jennifer. He’s the best. The absolute best at sports broadcasting and engaging the people
"And he burees it"
The only person who did not pronounce bury as barry.
It's a Saskatchewan thing apparently. Hedger was talking about how he says "BUREES" on the first SportsCentre after he passed. She tried to get him to say "BURY" (Barry) but he refused. RIP DUTCH.
Rip
Why couldn't it have been creepy little polievre instead on Dutchy?
RIP
RIP
