Sad, Sad Day: Fred Cusick Has Passed


Fred Cusick, legendary announcer and voice of the Boston Bruins for 40+ years, has passed away at the age of 90.

Cusick is scheduled to be inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame tomorrow night.

Current play-by-play man Jack Edwards said the following of the great Fred Cusick:

"When you listened to Fred Cusick call a Bruins game, you knew this: he loved hockey with endless enthusiasm, and he was thrilled every night," Edwards said. "By sharing those qualities with those of us in his considerable audience, he pulled us closer to the game we all enjoy so much -- and he added to that enjoyment."

"SCORE! BOBBY ORR!"
