Peter Holt Maher was a Canadian sportscaster. He was the radio voice of the Calgary Flames from their move to Calgary, Alberta, in 1980 until his retirement following the 2013–14 NHL season. He broadcast every Flames game for 33 years on the city's all-sports radio station, CFAC. Maher became known for his catchphrase, "Yeah Baby!" after a significant or important moment, and "You can put it in the win column!" after every Flames win.
