Ex-Bruins sportscaster Fred Cusick diesCourtesy
Boston Herald
(September 15, 2009) Fred Cusick, the broadcast voice of the Boston Bruins [team stats] for over 40 years and a major New England broadcaster for six decades, died early this morning at his home on Cape Cod. He was 90.
Over a long career Mr. Cusick covered every sport from the Patriots [team stats] and Red Sox [team stats] to the Boston Lobsters tennis team and the America’s Cup, but he was best known as the voice of the Bruins on radio and then television for 44 years. He retired from broadcasting the Bruins in 1997. Mr. Cusick liked to recall that he had played a key role in getting the Bruins on TV when they were in the National Hockey League’s cellar in the mid-1960s. At that time, no national or local TV broadcaster would touch them. “I kept telling them that the Bruins had this young player coming along named Orr and he was very good,” Mr. Cusick said. When he retired from announcing the Bruins, Mr. Cusick was asked how he would like his broadcast work to be remembered. He said that he’d like people to say “I loved the game and I reported it accurately.” _______________________
