Playing Career
Don Cherry was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He is a highschool drop-out.[1] He played junior hockey with the Barrie Flyers and the Windsor Spitfires in the Ontario Hockey Association. Cherry won the Memorial Cup as a defenseman with Barrie in 1953. Cherry had a long playing career in the American Hockey League for 15 seasons, and played one game for the NHL's Boston Bruins in 1955. According to Cherry himself, a baseball injury suffered in the off season kept him from making the NHL.[2] Cherry played one game in the NHL as a fill-in with the Boston Bruins, during the 1955 playoffs.[3] He retired from hockey in 1970.[4] Cherry's younger brother, Dick Cherry is also a hockey player. He played 145 NHL games, 6 with the Boston Bruins and 139 with the Philadelphia Flyers.
[edit]
Coaching career
In the middle of the 1971-1972 season, Cherry became the coach of the AHL's Rochester Americans. After a successful three-year stint in Rochester, during which he received the award for being the AHL coach of the year, he was promoted to the NHL as head coach of the Boston Bruins. He quickly developed a reputation for being an eccentric, flamboyant coach who strongly encouraged physical play among his players. It has been alleged he modeled the Bruins' playing style after that of his dog, Blue, a feisty bull terrier. This approach worked as the Bruins, known as the "lunch-pail gang", were one of the NHL's best teams during the latter half of the 1970s, capturing the division title three times from 1977-79. The Bruins made the Stanley Cup finals twice, both times losing to their arch-rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, in both 1977 and 1978. Cherry won the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in 1976.
Cherry, who had an uneasy relationship with Bruins General Manager Harry Sinden, was fired by the Bruins after a critical coaching mistake during a 1979 playoff series against the Canadiens. Up by a goal with less than two minutes left in the seventh game, the Bruins were penalized for having too many men on the ice. The Canadiens scored the tying goal on the subsequent power play and ultimately won the game in overtime. Montreal went on to defeat the New York Rangers for their fourth straight Cup title.
Cherry went on to coach the Colorado Rockies the following season, but was unceremoniously dumped after one year due to a feud with the Rockies general manager. Some believe that the Rockies would have let Cherry stay in Colorado, but his outspokenness, plus General Manager Ray Miron's refusal to sign a capable goaltender beyond Hardy Astrom, hampered Cherry's efforts. Of course, Cherry didn't help things when, after watching a player ignore him and refuse to come off during a game, he reached over the boards and strangled the offending player.
Cherry is the part-owner and the former coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Mississauga IceDogs. The IceDogs' first three seasons were difficult ones with the team winning a total of 16 games. Cherry took over coaching duties in the fourth season. During Cherry's one season as head coach of the Mississauga IceDogs, the team managed 11 victories (only a slight improvement) and failed to make the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
[edit]
Broadcasting
Following his stint with the Rockies, Cherry became a commentator for Hockey Night in Canada on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Since the mid-1980s he has regularly appeared on "Coach's Corner," an intermission segment on Hockey Night In Canada, with Ron MacLean. For several years he also hosted his own half-hour interview show, "Don Cherry's Grapevine". His loud, outspoken nature became notorious, and his shows are described as "game analysis, cultural commentary and playful parrying with host Ron MacLean."[5]
Cherry has never held back his dislike of the European style of hockey, blaming them for bringing diving, stickworks and visors into the league, while taking the jobs of "good-old Canadian boys." On the subject of visors, Cherry was very outspoken. He once showed a picture of a player whose visor, instead of shattering, had buckled under a small amount of force, leaving a long, straight scar across his nose and cheeks.
In January, 2004 Cherry's statement that the majority of people that wear visors were "European or French [Canadian] guys" triggered an investigation by the federal Official Languages Commissioner, and protests by French-Canadians. CBC consequently imposed a seven-second delay on Hockey Night in Canada. He was somewhat vindicated when a study was published that showed the majority of visor users in the NHL were indeed French-Canadians and Europeans.
Cherry's commentary is usually peppered with catch phrases like "All you kids out there...," unrestrained affection for his favorite players (including "Dougie," Kingston native Doug Gilmour, whom Cherry kissed on-air in a famous TV gag), and overall political incorrectness. Another trademark is his bull terrier Blue, originally a gift from the Bruins players. Also, some of the advice he gives is unchanging from year to year.
"Grapes" tends to have favorites among his many tidbits of advice. During the late nineties, virtually every week he would spend time exhorting the evils of placing one's stick in the line of fire (it inevitably caused deflections, and sometimes goals). Two other perennial favorites are the folly of the touch icing, and (several years ago) bemoaning the extremely sensitive rules about crease violation. He also spends time extolling true grit, such as when, in the 2000 playoff campaign, after sustaining a bone-shattering slapshot from Al MacInnis, a Phoenix winger crawled off the ice so that another could take his place.
Cherry is generally regarded as being an outspoken conservative on many issues, making him often at odds with the overall tone of CBC programming, which is generally characterized as liberal-leaning.
During the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Russian delegation was allegedly threatening to withdraw because of perceived bias against them when their athletes tested positive for illegal drugs. On live TV, Cherry said "I've been trying to tell you people for so long about the Russians, what kind of people they are, and you just love them in Canada with your multiculturalism. They're quitters and evidently they take a lot of drugs, too." After some outrage in the Russian-Canadian community, he was forced to apologize. Some critics still thought that apology wasn't sufficient, even though some others, such as Toronto Maple Leafs player Alexander Mogilny, dismissed Cherry's comments as insignificant, calling him a "clown".
In 2003 Cherry made controversial comments on his CBC segment in support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq (though many felt he was provoked by Ron MacLean on the issue). On an American radio program (The Jim Rome Show) the following week, he lashed out at CBC management for being anti-American.
Cherry returned to the news in May 2004 amid rumours that CBC would terminate his contract for Hockey Night in Canada. However, he re-signed with the network in July.
Branching out from his Hockey Night in Canada duties, Cherry began to release a series of videos called Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em Hockey in 1989. The 15th anniversary video was released in 2003, with a 'Best Of' released in 2005.
Cherry has returned to the "Coach's Corner" for the 2005-2006 NHL season - without the seven-second delay.
[edit]
Greatest Canadian?
In October, 2004, the CBC program The Greatest Canadian revealed that its 'top ten' viewer-selected great Canadians included Cherry. He joined such greats as John A. Macdonald, Frederick Banting and Terry Fox. Cherry himself remarked that he was inclined to vote for Macdonald, who during his lifetime also resided in Kingston. Don Cherry finished seventh in the final tally.
[edit]
Acting career
As part of his fame, Cherry has also branched out into some acting roles. He was cast as Jake Nelson in the television series Power Play. Nelson was the coach of the team playing the Hamilton Steelheads in the playoffs during the first season. Also, he and Ron MacLean provided voices for themselves in the animated television series Zeroman, which starred Leslie Nielsen. His voice was also used in Disney's animated feature The Wild, as a penguin curling broadcaster. He also appeared alongside the Trailer Park Boys in The Tragically Hip's video "The Darkest One".
[edit]
Business and charitable work
In 1985, the first of a chain of franchised sports bars/restaurants bearing Don Cherry's name was opened in Hamilton. Cherry started as a partner in the operation and has more recently licensed his name to the chain without holding a significant ownership stake in the company. As one of Canada's most recognizable and trusted faces (at least in some circles), Cherry has been an in-demand celebrity endorser for consumer products. "Don Cherry's Sports Grill" have locations in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Alberta.[6]
Don Cherry has lent his considerable personae to selected charitable causes, most significantly, organ donation awareness.
Don Cherry in recent years has become one of the biggest public personalities to endorse Cold FX cold medication. While both parties will not discuss his salary it is said to be more that he makes from CBC.
In 1997, Cherry's wife, Rose (whose name motivated Cherry to always wear a rose on his lapell) died of cancer. Cherry contributed in developing Rose Cherry's Home for Kids in Milton, Ontario.[[7]
[edit]
Other Accolades
In 1992, Don Cherry lent his voice to the charity song "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Techno" for Canadian Techno group BKS
On November 14, 2005, Don Cherry was granted honorary membership of the Police Association of Ontario. Once an aspiring police officer, Cherry has been a longtime supporter of the police services. In his own words, "This is the best thing I've ever had."

"you see this is what i don't get, we can't draw comics of mohammed but they can clown on the DON?..."
The DON? He's GOD now?
Whatever buddy, work your own issues. For a fact I am of color. But I was raised here in Canada. Though I'm into cricket and other "ethnic" sports, I've played hockey, baseball and football. Baseball was the only one that I cared for and I'm obsessed about it. If this hadn't been about hockey and had been about baseball I'm pretty sure your half kidding racist remark about my color wouldn't have been there. You would have guessed I'm white.
And please don't kid me about white people loving Don Cherry. There are enough white people who hate his guts. As far I'm concerned, watching him spew vile vitriol over the airwaves is far more damning than any other charity work he could possibly have done or yet to do.
Frankly, your comments don't mean worth a **** to me. You can go to hell for all I care. The man was an *** to me and I made him look one. You get respect when you give it, Don Cherry be damned.
