"For the past six years, Jack has been an energetic and important part of NESN's Bruins hockey coverage," said Sean McGrail, NESN president and CEO. "We are very happy to extend his contract, and look forward to his passionate presence in the broadcast booth for years to come."
Jack Edwards said, "Who has more fun than us? To work with Brick, Naoko [Funayama], and our NESN production crew is to live the dream. We feed off the energy and passion of Bruins fans across New England and hockey fans all over the world. We love our work and we love working together. To be part of that, to share the space with people who pour so much of their time and effort into covering this team and this sport, is the pinnacle of my career."
A New Hampshire native with over 30 years of sports broadcasting experience, Edwards joined NESN in 2005. Best known for his role as a SportsCenter anchor and NHL play-by-play announcer at ESPN, Edwards has also served as a local sports anchor and as a reporter for ABC's Wide World of Sports and Winter Olympics coverage. In addition to his work with NESN, Edwards is also a senior partner and executive producer for Fountainhead Production, an independent film and TV production company specializing in HD productions.
