Don Cherry is a former ice hockey commentator from Ontario, Canada, born on February 5, 1934. He is also known for being a sports writer and former professional ice hockey player and NHL coach for the Boston Bruins. For 33 years (1986-2019), Cherry co-hosted Coach’s Corner, and was known for his rather eccentric and flamboyant attire as well as his controversial comments. Although these controversial comments made him famous in the world of hockey commentating it also lead to his downfall when he, in November 2019, was fired by Sportsnet for making a comment about Canadian immigrants benefiting from Canadian veterans but not wearing the Remembrance Day Poppy in honor of them.
Fun Facts: After Don finished his playing career, he struggled as a Cadillac salesman and construction worker, as well as working as a house painter earning $2 an hour. For the 1971-1972 season, Don Cherry got his breakthrough becoming the coach of the AHL Rochester Americans, and won Coach of the Year. He was inducted into the American Hockey League Hall of Fame in 2019.
We estimate Don Cherry’s net worth to be $14 million, from his very successful career as a hockey commentator, as well his years as a hockey coach in both the AHL and NHL.
