JOHN “FRENZY” LYNCH PASSES AT AGE 86

Legendary Saskatchewan Roughriders broadcaster John Lynch passed away Friday at age 86.

The Rouleau, SK product was nicknamed “Frenzy” by Leader Post columnist Bob Hughes. Lynch had a 45-year career covering the Riders, and rotated between colour commentary and play-by-play roles in the 1970’s and 80’s on CKCK Radio. He also hosted The Last Word Rider postgame show on CKCK, later served as an analyst on CKRM and co-hosted In The Huddle on Access Television.

John was inducted into the Rural Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 2003 and was a voting member on the Plaza of Honour and Canadian Football Hall of Fame induction committees.

He truly was one in a million!
