Jack Edwards replacement announced? Major development
The Boston Bruins lost long-time broadcaster Jack Edwards to retirement last season due to health issues.
According to reports, the Bruins have continued the search and have arrived at their shortlist. This list consists of 6 options including Tom Caron and Judd Sirott.
"I'm told approximately six potential candidates to succeed the retired Jack Edwards have auditioned with color analyst Andy Brickley.
They include a couple of candidates with NHL broadcasting experience outside the market, as well as Judd Sirott, who has called Bruins games on 98.5 The Sports Hub since the 2017-18 season, and longtime NESN host and play-by-play voice Tom Caron, who I noted a couple weeks back has extensive game-calling experience even though he might be best known to Boston sports fans for his work as a Red Sox studio anchor.
The Bruins will have some say in the hire."M
It's likely the next play-by-play announcer will be a great replacement, the change will be abrupt as Bruins fans have been listening to Edwards call plays for the team, since 2005.
