when describing an exciting play during NHL broadcasts.

In addition to hockey, Hughson also called baseball for TSN.

A year later, he left radio and began working on the Canucks regional television broadcasts on Sportsnet Pacific, alongside Ryan Walter.

He was also the host of Snapshots, a weekly half-hour show where he interviewed various sports personalities, from 1998 to 2006.
