A New Play-By-Play Announcer Has Been Named By The Bruins

-

According to a Thursday release, Judd Sirott will join analyst Andy Brickley in the broadcast booth for NESN.

“This job is unrivaled around the National Hockey League: an Original Six team in a spectacular hockey market, in one of the premier cities in the country,” said Judd Sirott. “It’s my honor to be NESN’s new play-by-play announcer for the Boston Bruins. It will be a privilege to work with Andy Brickley and the NESN production crew, and I’m grateful to the Boston Bruins organization, NESN, and 98.5 The Sports Hub, and many others for this opportunity.”

“[He] is an excellent broadcaster with a deep knowledge of our organization, the fanbase, and the market,” said Charlie Jacobs, CEO and Alternate Governor of the Boston Bruins.

A native of Arlington Heights, Ill., Sirott attended the University of Michigan and broadcasted hockey and football as a student.

His professional hockey broadcasting career began with a 12-year run as the play-by-play voice and media relations director of the American Hockey League’s Chicago Wolves.

Before coming to Boston and doing play-by-play at 98.5 The Sports Hub, he had a nine-year stint as the studio host for the Chicago Blackhawks.

“I grew up listening to Bruins games on the radio with legendary play-by-play voices. So I’m thrilled to have the B’s most recent, outstanding radio voice joining me calling games on TV,” said Andy Brickley, NESN color analyst. “NESN viewers are going to really enjoy Judd’s love of the game, his knowledge and passion for the Bruins, and his respect for the fans. Can’t wait to get going together!”

NESN has had only a handful of play-by-play announcers, including, most recently, an impressive 19-year career by Jack Edwards.

Other long-time play-by-play announcers for the Bruins on NESN include Dale Arnold, Fred Cusick, and Dave Shea.

The Boston Bruins’ regular season begins on the road against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, October 8.

The Black & Gold will return to Boston for the home opener against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday, October 10.
