Joe Bowen is 74 years old. He was born in 1951, and recent reports note that the 2025-26 season would be his final one behind the Maple Leafs microphone, with retirement planned after that season. He’s widely associated with the Leafs since 1982 and has been honored for his long career in hockey broadcasting. If you’d like, I can pull the latest updates or confirm exact retirement date from official Leafs announcements.[1][2][3][6]
