Rob Snoek
Rob Snoek (born 1969) is a Canadian sports broadcaster and former athlete, who was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Sports Play-by-Play at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022 for his work as a member of the CBC Sports broadcast team at the 2020 Summer Olympics. A native of Orono, Ontario, Snoek's lower left leg was amputated at age one due to a congenital bone disease. He was a competitor in amputee athletics events, most notably at the 1992 Summer Paralympics, the 1996 Summer Paralympics and the 2000 Summer Paralympics. He was a bronze medalist at the paralympic edition of the World Athletics Championships in 1998. After his retirement from competitive sport he moved into broadcasting as a play-by-play announcer for Ontario Hockey League games, first for the Oshawa Generals on CKDO, and later for Peterborough Petes games on CJMB-FM. He first joined the CBC's Olympic team in 2002, covering a variety of both main Olympic and Paralympic events. He was inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame in 2017. References
