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, which killed him in 1996. The press box at the team's new HSBC Arena was named the "Ted Darling Memorial Press Box" in his honour. Darling was also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994. He was succeeded by John Gurtler, who was himself succeeded by Sabres radio play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret in 1995.
