KITCHENER — The voice of the Kitchener Rangers has gone silent.

Broadcaster Don Cameron passed away unexpectedly Thursday after dealing with an illness. He was 82.

Cameron, often referred to as “The Legend” by fans or “Cammy” by friends, brought the Blueshirts to life on the radio for more than 50 years before stepping out of the booth in 2015 to spend more time with Carole, his wife of 55 years.
