Hahn was born in 1958 in Edmonton but moved to Whitehorse, Yukon at the age of 14. He attended F. H. Collins Secondary School with mayor Ernie Bourassa. At the age of 15, Hahn was hired for a weekend shift as a disc jockey at CKRW. His first live play-by-play was covering the Sourdough Rendezvous dog races on Dandelion Heights, which he refers to as a "paw by paw." During his tenure with the station, Bob Sudeyko  and him interviewed their friends to pass the time while stuck in the transmitter shack on Grey Mountain, and said at the end of the night they even interviewed a chipmunk. After graduating from high school, Hahn attended the University of British Columbia where he accepted a job offer from a Vancouver radio station working broadcasts for the National Hockey League and Canadian Football League teams. This eventually led to a play-by-play job with the Edmonton Drillers soccer team. Career. His 1980s TV work included Ivy League Game of the Week football broadcasts. Hahn and Rick Davis called  the final of the first FIFA Women's World Cup from Guangzhou, China for SportsChannel America in November 1991. Some of his other TV and radio work has been with the San Diego Sockers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks, and Edmonton Oilers. Shortly before the Sharks were formed, Hahn was vice president of a non-profit organization known as Pro Hockey San Jose. The purpose was to draw attention to the newly approved arena in the city, and hopefully acquire an NHL team for San Jose (both the team and the arena did come to fruition, with the arena opening  in 1990 and the Sharks beginning play the next year in 1991). Personal life. Hahn was married to Roberta Gonzales, a weather forecaster for KPIX-TV. On June 8, 1995, Hahn was arrested on a charge of drug possession after signing for a package containing amphetamines that was delivered to his home in Orland Park, Illinois. The charges were dropped a week later after the police realized that Hahn had been set up by a stalker who was after his wife, who was then the morning meteorologist for WMAQ-TV in Chicago. On October 17, 2021, Randy married Andrea Buswell , owner of Frost Cupcake Factory in San Jose. They had a private ceremony at their home in Gilroy, California.
