The Boston Bruins and NESN will celebrate longtime play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards throughout the Black and Gold’s game against the Seattle Kraken at TD Garden on Sunday evening.
The Original Six franchise will commemorate Edward’s storied career and lasting impact on the Bruins organization with a special pregame presentation.
“Jack has been an integral part of the Bruins organization for many years,” Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs said in a press release. “His passion for the game and deep connection with our fans elevated the experience of Bruins hockey. We are excited for our fanbase and the organization to properly celebrate his nearly two decades as a Bruin and the vital role he plays in our team’s legacy.”
Edwards announced his retirement from NESN in April after 19 years as the Bruins play-by-play broadcaster.
“Jack’s career as the voice of the Bruins on NESN has been nothing short of extraordinary,” NESN chief operating officer Matt Volk said in the press release. “For nearly two decades, he brought an unmistakable energy and passion to every game, making each moment memorable for fans across New England. We thank Jack for his exceptional contributions and the impact he’s had during his time with us at NESN, and we are thrilled to be able to do so with such a special celebration at TD Garden and on NESN.”
