Foster William Hewitt, OC (November 21, 1902–April 21, 1985) was a Canadian radio broadcaster most famous for his play-by-play calls for Hockey Night in Canada.

[4] Hewitt was part of the opening night ceremonies for Maple Leaf Gardens on November 12, 1931, and the specially designed broadcast "gondola" where Hewitt would broadcast from was brought into the plans with his input, and the blessings of then Toronto Maple Leafs owner Conn Smythe.

As the show was aired on Canadian national radio, Hewitt became notable for the phrase "He shoots, he scores!"

[citation needed] Hewitt came out of retirement to broadcast the 1972 Summit Series (with colour commentator Brian Conacher).

The Foster Hewitt Memorial Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame is named after him, as is the media gondola at the nearby Scotiabank Arena.

Hewitt's original gondola from Maple Leaf Gardens was dismantled, then dumped into an incinerator in August 1979 to make room for private boxes, under the MLG leadership of Harold Ballard.

Hewitt died from a combination of alzheimer's disease, kidney failure, and throat cancer on April 21, 1985, at the age of 82, at Providence Villa Nursing Home in Scarborough, Ontario.
