Bruins Broadcaster Jack Edwards to Retire
Jack Edwards is calling it a career.
Longtime Boston Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards has announced that he is retiring at the end of the season.
Edwards' final call for a Bruins regular-season game will be on Tuesday night when the Bruins play the Ottawa Senators in the season finale. After that, he will be the club's broadcaster for the first round of the playoffs.
In a news release, Edwards said: "I grew up a Bruins fan, and who had more fun than us over the last two decades? In collaboration with Bruins and NESN leadership, I recently decided that the time has come for me to finish my shift as the voice of the Boston Bruins. I am no longer able to attain the standards I set for myself, to honor the fans, the players, the Bruins organization and NESN with the best they all deserve.”
Edwards, 67, has had a lengthy career as the Bruins' broadcaster, joining NESN in 2005. When he originally joined the network, he solely called road games. However, he was promoted to call all games during the 2007-2008 season. Before joining NESN, he also worked for Sportscenter 5 and ESPN.
Over his 19-year career calling Bruins games, Edwards certainly gave Bruins fans some wonderful memories. We here at The Hockey News Bruins wish him the happiest of retirements.
