MacLean's broadcasting career began in 1978, when he took a part-time position at CKRD Radio in Red Deer, Alta. In 1984, a producer saw MacLean doing an ad-lib weather forecast and hired him to host the Calgary Flames telecasts on CFAC, an independent TV station in Calgary. MacLean then became the sports anchor on the local evening news.
After joining CBC in 1986, MacLean hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs' telecasts on Hockey Night in Canada, before becoming the full-time national host in 1987.
His role has expanded over the years to include hosting CBC's coverage of the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. MacLean has also travelled the globe on several occasions to host CBC Sports' coverage of the IAAF World Championships.
The versatile commentator has also covered Hockey Day In Canada, the Calgary Stampede and the Export A Skins Golf game.
MacLean has been recognized with seven Gemini Awards for his work with CBC.
He and his wife, Cari, live in Oakville, Ont.
