The new play-by-play voice on NESN’s Bruins broadcasts is one that is already familiar to fans.
The network announced Thursday that it has hired Judd Sirott as the successor to Jack Edwards, who retired in April after 19 years as the play-by-play voice on NESN.
Sirott, 55, has called Bruins radio broadcasts on flagship station 98.5 The Sports Hub since the 2017-18 season. He replaced Dave Goucher, who had left after 17 seasons in the radio booth to become the inaugural television voice of the Vegas Golden Knights, a position he still holds.
Sirott will join longtime color analyst Andy Brickley in the NESN booth.
Before coming to Boston, Sirott worked as host and fill-in play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Blackhawks on WGN-AM in Chicago for a decade.
Sirott previously served for 12 seasons as the play-by-play voice for the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League, among other broadcasting roles.
Good for Sirott, He has big shoes to fill. Hopefully he is a bruins fan to his soul..
Kind of happy it wasn't SM.

He's a Chicago guy to his soul lol
But he did great replacing Goucher. I hope it translates. I would of preferred a homer, imo.
They should of given Goucher an offer he couldn't refuse. But NESN is cheap.
Judd is the best they could do. So I'm not mad. I wish him well. Big shoes to fill!
Goucher was honored but elected to stay in Vegas..... remember, originally we thought it was both Jack and Brick leaving.... at least we'll still hear "Compete Level" etc.... BUT WHAT'S going to be the theme for Sirott/Brick like we had with the tagline "Who has more fun than us" when the games get off sequence....

Just change the stupid goal call and he'll be fine. Judd, if you are reading this, stop trying to make hockey into soccer!

I'm am fine with this and I don't find his goal call even remotely annoying, not even close!

The more I think about it, I’m inclined to agree with you. It would have taken a top dollar offer to get him to come back and he clearly didn’t get it.

Grats to him from Chicago. He was always a damn good secondary partner to Pat Hughes on Cubs radio broadcasts.

I used to find his goal call a little odd but it’s grown on me. I enjoy listening to him on the Saturday morning bruins radio show on 98.5. I think he’s a good choice.

I like his PBP work, outside of the goal call. If he changes that then we're good here.
That means a hole is open on radio. Ryan Johnston should be the favorite to slide in there.
