Jack Edwards, the notorious Boston Bruins announcer, has officially retired after years of fans urging him to quit. Despite his reputation for being a homer, Edwards is celebrated for some of the greatest calls in NHL history.
W/ "gratefulness" & "a heavy heart" Jack Edwards announces his retirement from broadcasting at the end of this season: "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.»
My mistake. Jack said "not with a heavy heart" but with "gratefulness" «I retire from broadcasting not with a heavy heart, but gratefulness for a 19-year-long joyride. I owe my career, my own pursuit of happiness, to the love and support of my family."
I thank every member of the Bruins and NESN for your loyalty, helping me to achieve and live out a lifetime goal, high above the ice.»
We wish the 67 year-old all the best as he begins a new chapter in his life
