WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING
ABOUT JOHN HORN?


Barry Macdonald

”I worked with John for 6 years at Sports Page in Vancouver. He produced a fast paced, 30 minute hilight/feature driven show. It required quick thinking, ability to adapt, and leadership on a daily basis. John consistently displayed these values in our time together.“ 

Barry Macdonald

BC Sports Hall of Fame Member


Gene Principe

“I always enjoyed working with John during our many years together at Sportsnet. He was prepared for whatever assignment was sent his way. He wasn’t afraid to cover various sports, whether it was considered mainstream or not. A friendly face who makes people around him (co-workers, athletes, coaches or management) feel comfortable. Professional but not pushy, which I always thought brought out the best in the story he was covering or producing. A real gentleman in the world of sports.” 

Gene Principe

Rogers Sportsnet, NHL Host & Reporter

He has produced some of the best programming on radio and television in Canada and he is one of the few people who doesn’t make fun of my hair.“
