Edwards, who announced his retirement in April 2024, was the voice of the Boston Bruins on NESN since 2005.
“Jack has been an integral part of the Bruins organization for many years,” Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs said in a statement ahead of the game. “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.”
"Jack’s career as the voice of the Bruins on NESN has been nothing short of extraordinary," Matt Volk, COO of NESN, said. "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 tonight with such a special celebration at TD Garden and on NESN."
