Mark Hebscher

Best known for his role on Global TV's Sportsline, Mark Hebscher stands out from the crowd with his provocative, no-nonsense broadcast style. He has interviewed some of the world's greats - from Muhammad Ali and George Chuvalo to Donovan Bailey and Pete Rose - and never flinched in the glare of their fame.

Best known for his 11-year role (which began in 1984) on Global TV's ground-breaking show 'Sportsline' the innovative broadcaster created the 'Hebsy Awards,' a weekly collection of sports bloopers. During his time with 'Sportsline' Mark twice was nominated for a Gemini Award as Canada's top sportscaster.

In 1995, Mark moved to AM640 and Q107 where he mixed morning radio with hockey and football play-by-play. However, after two years of spending more time away from his wife and two sons than he wanted, Mark decided to stay close to home while anchoring at the cable channels Sportsnet and Headline Sports. Today, Mark currently hosts CH Live@5:30, a news and current affairs program on Hamilton’s CHCH TV.

Mark Hebscher is a highly sought after Speaker and EmCee. You can always count on him to bring his infamous Hebsy Awards, an assortment of sports bloopers, that contributed towards two Gemini Award nominations as Canada's BEST sportscaster. He is a very unique, engaging, hilarious Speaker and is as entertaining as he is, informative.

Behind The Scenes Of Sports - Humour

Having spent the better part of 20 years hosting or co-anchoring sports shows on Global, Headline Sports and Sportsnet television, Mark Hebscher has had numerous encounters, interviews and direct access to athletes and coaches while traveling with them on the road. Suffice to say Mark Hebscher is uniquely qualified to bring and share behind-the-scenes adventures, dramas, stories and humourous anecdotes accumulated throughout his continuing broadcast career.

He's seen it all, and has experienced such "events" as being slapped on the backside or having snow dumped on his head from professional Hockey players skating by, while conducting LIVE on-air broadcasts. As a joke, Wayne Gretzky once tried to disconnect his microphone cord during an on-air interview.

Because Mark hosted Global’s "Sportsline" for 11 years, naturally he highlights this presentation with a mock sports broadcast from the year 2025. Try projecting yourself into the future and imagine how many teams are now in the NHL and where they’re located? What will Don Cherry or Ron MacLean be up to?  What famous athletes will become embroiled with the law or with fans? Mark makes some very entertaining predictions.

In addition, his extremely popular and trademark "Hebsy Awards" which are an extensive collection of hilarious sports bloopers, can be customized for any event and audience.
