TSN Congratulates Chris Schultz and Leo Rautins on Induction into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame

TORONTO (October 13, 2016) – Canada’s Sports Leader congratulates TSN analysts Chris Schultz and Leo Rautins on their upcoming induction into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame. They will be formally inducted alongside four other athletes at a special ceremony at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel on Monday, Oct. 17. The Ontario Sports Hall of Fame (OSHOF) is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization devoted to honouring Ontario’s greatest athletes, builders, and writers for their lifelong contributions to the Ontario sports scene. “From everyone here at TSN, we are thrilled to congratulate Chris and Leo on their induction,” said Mark Milliere, Senior Vice-President of Production, TSN. “For years we watched and appreciated their athletic prowess, and those experiences have made them expert analysts and key members of the TSN team. We couldn’t be happier that their sporting accomplishments are being recognized with this very well-deserved honour.” A household name to Canadian football fans, Chris Schultz has been a mainstay on TSN since 1998, appearing as a football analyst on both the CFL ON TSN panel and for the network’s comprehensive NFL coverage. A Dallas Cowboys draft pick in 1983, Schultz played left tackle for the Cowboys until 1986, when he joined the Toronto Argonauts. Schultz was twice named a CFL All-Star with the Argos, capturing the Grey Cup championship in 1991. In 2007, Schultz was named to the All-Time Argos team. For many years, Schultz has also been the passionate spokesperson for Purolator Tackle Hunger, a program dedicated to collecting food for local food banks across Canada. A broadcasting veteran with more than 30 years in the industry, Leo Rautins is a familiar face on TSN as a basketball analyst for Toronto Raptors games, as well as the network’s wide-ranging coverage of the NBA. Considered one of the best Canadian-born players ever, Rautins has been at the forefront of Canadian basketball for more than three decades. At Syracuse University, Rautins was named Most Valuable Player in the Big East Tournament and was selected to the university’s All-Century Team. He then became the first Canadian to be selected in the first round of the NBA Draft after being drafted 17^th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983. For his outstanding contributions to the sport in Canada, Rautins is also an inductee of both the Ontario Basketball Hall of Fame and the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame.
