Longtime Bruins Broadcaster Jack Edwards Announces Retirement
19-Year NESN Veteran to Step Away From the Mic
Edwards' Retirement Comes After 19 Seasons as Boston Bruins Play-by-Play Voice
After 19 seasons as the Boston Bruins play-by-play broadcaster on NESN, Jack Edwards has announced his retirement. Edwards made the announcement following the Bruins' season-ending loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Edwards has been a beloved figure in Boston sports for decades, known for his energetic and enthusiastic style. He has called some of the most memorable moments in Bruins history, including the team's Stanley Cup victory in 2011.
Edwards' retirement comes as a surprise to many, as he has not publicly disclosed any health issues. However, he did say in a statement that he has been experiencing some "slowing down and slurring" in his speech, and that he has not received a definitive diagnosis for the condition.
Edwards' departure from NESN will leave a big void in the Bruins broadcast booth. He has been a constant presence in the lives of Boston Bruins fans for nearly two decades, and his voice will be dearly missed.
