Randy Hahn
Television Play-By-Play Broadcaster
Randy Hahn, who’s expected to call his 1,000th Sharks game in December,
describes the play-by-play action for Sharks games on Comcast SportsNet California.
Hahn, who enters his 17th full season with the club, served in the same capacity on
selected telecasts during San Jose’s first two seasons (1991-93).
In 2008-09, Hahn captured his fourth Northern California Emmy Award in the “On
Camera Talent-Play by Play” category. He also earned the award in 1999, 2002 and
2006.
Hahn and broadcast partner Drew Remenda are featured as the primary play-byplay
and color voices on the recently released hockey video game, “NHL 2K10.”
Hahn has more than 30 years of sports broadcast experience, including a unique first assignment when he
was just 16 years old — calling the “paw-by-paw” action of a dog sled race in the Yukon Territory in 1974. He
continues to be a versatile broadcaster, having done play-by-play on television and radio, anchoring radio sports
shows and serving as television studio host for various sports programs. Hahn became the interim co-host of
San Francisco CBS-5’s “Evening Magazine” in February 2005, working alongside popular Bay Area personality
Malou Nubla.
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Hahn’s other hockey broadcast experience came as studio host of Los Angeles
Kings games on the Prime Ticket cable network before joining the Sharks. Early in his career, he was on the radio
broadcast team of both the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers, in addition to performing various broadcast
roles in those cities.
Hahn is also an experienced soccer announcer. He called matches on ABC and ESPN during the 1994 World
Cup. From 1982-92, he was the play-by-play voice of the North American and Major Indoor Soccer League’s
