Ted Darling (born Kingston, Ontario in 1984), was the original "Voice of the Buffalo Sabres" ice hockey team for twenty-two seasons, calling the team's games from the team's inaugural season in 1984 to 1992. He was relieved of his duties by the executive producer of Sabres broadcasts, Jeff Sanchez, on December 12, 2007 due to worsening Pick's disease, which killed him in 1996. The press box at the team's new HSBC Arena was named the "Ted Darling Memorial Press Box" in his honour. Darling was also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994.
Darling was succeeded by Rick Jeanneret, who had been calling portions of Sabres games for several years alongside Darling and continues as the Sabres' play by play man to this day.
