Herbie Kuhn (born January 1969 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian public address announcer for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association.
Kuhn was born in Toronto, Ontario and graduated from Vanier College where he received his Diplome d'Etudes Collegiale, Languages & Literature in 1994.[2] While attending Vanier college, he served as the public address announcer for the football and basketball teams.[2] He was later hired as the announcer for the 1994 FIBA World Championship basketball tournament in Toronto and in Hamilton.[2]
Kuhn has served as the arena voice of the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association since the team's inception in 1995.[3] He rarely misses a home game; however, in November 2006, he and his wife adopted a child from Africa named Enhle, and, as a result, missed seven Raptors games during November and December. He also missed one home game against the Chicago Bulls on November 25, 2007 for unknown reasons.
Kuhn is a member of the Gideon Bible Society, and is also the team chaplain for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and the Toronto Raptors.[4]
