Paul Morris (announcer)

Morris was known for his dispassionate, monotone voice,[1] instantly recognizable to two generations of Leaf fans.

[4] Paul Morris began working at the Gardens in the summer of 1958 while a student at the Ryerson Institute of Technology.

He quit school and stayed at the Gardens, becoming PA announcer three years later[5] when Red Barber was fired.

[8] During his tenure at the Gardens, Morris, along with Bob Wood, designed and assembled the modern four-sided scoreboard that was used between 1966 and 1982.

[9] When the team moved from the Gardens to the Air Canada Centre in February 1999, Morris was not given a full-time job at the new building.
