Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam
A Coffee with Gene Principe, Host of the Edmonton Oilers Broadcast on Sportsnet!
Join us for a coffee and chat with a true Edmonton legend, Gene Principe, Host of the Edmonton Oilers Broadcast on Sportsnet! We had the special opportunity to sit down with Gene in downtown Acheson to discuss his life and career.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Gene has been a lifelong Oilers fan and fondly remembers their first Stanley Cup victory. While he initially dreamed of being a professional soccer player, his passion for sports led him to broadcasting. He shares his journey from attending NAIT to breaking into the industry in Grande Prairie.
Gene also opens up about his personal life, sharing the charming story of how he met his wife, Karen. He recounts seeing her as a DJ, being turned down, and then seizing a second chance six months later—a moment that led to a beautiful 32-year relationship. Gene also reflects on the experience of helping Karen with her city council campaigns, and how he's received unexpected feedback on his haircuts while going door-to-door!
Beyond his career and family, Gene highlights the importance of giving back to the community, mentioning his recent half-marathon run for Sports Central. From its humble beginnings in the trunk of a car to an organization that now serves over 10,000 kids each year, Sport Central is a game-changer. They are instrumental in giving every child the opportunity to play, providing the essential sports equipment kids need to get in the game.
Tune in to hear our full conversation about hockey, Wayne Gretzky, the enduring power of sports to unite generations, and how Gene’s love for the game has brought people of all ages together.
