Herbie Kuhn
Herbie Kuhn (born January 1969 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian public address announcer for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association.
Kuhn, a 1994 Vanier College graduate, has served as the arena voice of the Raptors since the team's inception in 1995. He rarely misses a home game; however, in November 2006, he and his wife adopted a child from Africa, and, as a result, missed seven Raptors games during November and December. He also missed one home game against the Chicago Bulls on November 25, 2007 for unknown reasons.
In 2020, he narrated a portion of the 8th Canadian Screen Awards.[1]
