Edgar Lee "Ted" Darling (born Kingston, Ontario, died 1996), was the original "Voice of the Buffalo Sabres" ice hockey team for twenty-two seasons, calling the team's games on television from the team's inaugural season in 1970 to 1991. Prior to his work with the Sabres, he hosted Hockey Night in Canada telecasts from Montreal. Darling was relieved of his duties by the executive producer of Sabres broadcasts, Paul Wieland, on December 12, 1991 due to worsening Pick's disease, to which he eventually succumbed in 1996.
