This is a list of American Stanley Cup Finals television announcers.

Play-by-play edit

NBC aired Games 1 and 4[3] of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings. Win Elliot served as the play-by-play man while Bill Mazer served as the color commentator for the games.[4]

For the 1967 and 1968 playoffs, Jim Gordon worked play-by-play and Stu Nahan worked color commentary and intermission interviews for CBS. During the regular season, the duo[5] alternated roles each week. For instance, Gordon provided the play-by-play on December 30 while Nahan did the same the next week. In 1968–69,[6] Dan Kelly did play-by-play while Bill Mazer did color and intermission interviews.[7][8] While Dan Kelly once again handled all of the play-by-play work in 1971, Jim Gordon replaced Bill Mazer[9] in 1970–71. For the CBS' Stanley Cup Finals coverage during this period, a third voice was added to the booth (Phil Esposito in 1971 and Harry Howell in 1972).

From 1972–73[10]–1974–75,[11] NBC not only televised the Stanley Cup Finals[12] (including a couple of games in prime time[13]), but also weekly regular season games on Sunday afternoons. NBC also aired one regular season and a couple of playoff games in prime time during the first couple of seasons. Tim Ryan and Ted Lindsay (with Brian McFarlane as the intermission host) served as the commentators for NBC's NHL coverage during this period.[14][15][16]

For the Stanley Cup Finals, Jiggs McDonald[17] served as the play-by-play man while Bill Clement was the color commentator for SportsChannel America. Also during the Stanley Cup Finals, Mike Emrick[18][19][20] served as the host while John Davidson[21] served as the rinkside[22][23] and intermission analyst[24] (Herb Brooks filled that role in 1989).

2003 was the only year that ABC broadcast both the NBA and the Stanley Cup Finals that involved teams from one city in the same year, as both the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils were in their respective league's finals. During ABC's broadcast of game three between the San Antonio Spurs and the Nets in New Jersey on June 8, Brad Nessler said that ABC was in a unique situation getting ready for both that game and game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Devils and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim the following night, also at Continental Airlines Arena. Gary Thorne mentioned this the following night, and thanked Nessler for promoting ABC's broadcast of game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals.[25]

NBC's coverage of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals marked the first time that hockey games were broadcast on network television in color.[31] The CBC would follow suit the following year. NBC's Stanley Cup coverage preempted a sports anthology series called NBC Sports in Action, hosted by Jim Simpson and Bill Cullen, who were between-periods co-hosts for the Stanley Cup broadcasts.

In the 1981–82 season,[32] Al Trautwig[33] took over as studio host for the USA Network. Dan Kelly did play-by-play with either Gary Green[34][35] or Rod Gilbert on color commentary. For the playoffs, Dick Carlson and Al Albert[36] were added as play-by-play voices of some games. Meanwhile, Jim Van Horne hosted Stanley Cup Finals games played in Vancouver.

Things pretty much remained the same for USA during the 1982–83 season. Dan Kelly and Gary Green called most games, while Al Albert did play-by-play on several playoff[37] games and hosted one game of the Stanley Cup Finals.[38][39]

Broadcast networks edit

CBS managed to televise the 1971 Stanley Cup Finals clincher on a Tuesday night and the 1972 Stanley Cup Finals clincher[40] on a Thursday night. In 1971, CBS was not scheduled to broadcast Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but showed the prime time contest (the first ever occurrence of an NHL game being nationally televised in prime time in the United States) between the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Black Hawks after fans reportedly swamped switchboards at network headquarters in New York City asking that the seventh game be televised. Ironically, the game was not telecast by CBS' Chicago owned-and-operated station WBBM-TV, nor on CBS affiliates in most of Illinois (except areas near St. Louis), and parts of Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa, due to Blackhawks' owner Arthur M. Wirtz policy of not telecasting home games. While Dan Kelly once again handled all of the play-by-play work, Jim Gordon replaced Bill Mazer[41] in 1970–71. For the CBS' Stanley Cup Finals coverage during this period, a third voice was added to the booth (Phil Esposito in 1971 and Harry Howell in 1972).

During the 1972 Stanley Cup Finals between the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers, CBS took a rather calculated risk in not televising the Game 5 match on May 9 (CBS aired regular programming, including the original Hawaii Five-O in that time period on that Tuesday night). This was despite the fact that Game 5 was a potential clincher with the Bruins up three games to one on the Rangers. CBS ultimately lucked out (since the Rangers won Game 5 3–2), and televised the clincher (Game 6) on Thursday night, May 11.

In 1979, ABC was contracted to televise game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals.[42][43] Since the Finals ended in five games, the contract was void.[44] Had there been a Game 7, then Al Michaels would have called play-by-play alongside Jim McKay (between-periods host), Bobby Clarke (color commentator), and Frank Gifford (reporter, who would have been in the winning team's dressing room to interview players and coaches as well as hand the phone to the winning team's coach that would have allowed him to talk to both President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau). This would give Michaels the honor of being the first announcer to call the play-by-play in all four major sports, having called the Super Bowl, the World Series, and NBA Finals. The game would have started at 5:10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on a Saturday, replacing Wide World of Sports and local news shows that typically followed it on ABC stations in the Eastern and Central time zones.

Mainly influenced by the United States men's Olympic hockey team's surprise gold medal victory (dubbed "The Miracle on Ice") in Lake Placid several months prior,[45] CBS agreed to pay $37 million to broadcast the sixth game of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals. In return, the NHL happily moved[46] the starting time from prime time to the afternoon.[47] The Saturday afternoon game was the first full American network telecast of an NHL game since Game 5 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals aired on NBC. By this time, Dan Kelly[48] was joined by former NHL on NBC commentator, Tim Ryan.[49] Kelly did play-by-play for the first and third periods as well as overtime.[50] Meanwhile, Tim Ryan did play-by-play only for the second period. Minnesota North Stars general manager Lou Nanne[51] was the color commentator throughout the game. This turned out to be the last NHL game on American network television until NBC televised the 1990 All-Star Game.[52][53]

FOX split coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals with ESPN. Game 1 of the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals was the first Finals game shown on network television since 1980 and the first in prime time since 1973. FOX was scheduled to televise Games 1, 5, and 7; and ESPN airs Games 2, 3, 4, and 6. However, from 1995 to 1998, the Finals matches were all four game sweeps; the 1999 Finals ended in six games. The consequence was that – except for 1995, when Fox did televise game four – the decisive game was never shown on network television. Perhaps in recognition of this, Games 3 through 7 were always televised by ABC in the succeeding broadcast agreement between the NHL and ABC Sports/ESPN.

Before the 2004–05 lockout, the NHL had reached two separate deals with NBC (who would replace ABC as the NHL's American national broadcast television partner) and ESPN. ESPN offered the NHL $60 million for about 40 games (only fifteen of which would be during the regular season), all on ESPN2, with presumably, only some midweek playoff games, the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals and the All-Star Game airing on ESPN.[54] The NBC deal stipulated that the network would pay the league no rights fees - an unheard of practice to that point. NBC's deal included six regular season windows, seven postseason broadcasts and Games 3–7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in primetime. The contracts were to commence when the lockout ended. The NBC deal expired after the 2006–07 season, and NBC had picked up the option to renew for the 2007–08 season (Just like the AFL/NBC agreement, which the network did not renew in 2006). The NHL and NBC shared in revenues from advertising.

As part of ESPN's new deal with the NHL, which starts with the 2021–22 season, ABC will exclusively air four Stanley Cup Finals over the life of the contract (2022, 2024, 2026, and 2028). This will be the first time that a broadcast over-the-air network will exclusively air the Stanley Cup Finals.

Cable edit

For USA's final full season of NHL coverage in 1984–85,[55][56] Dan Kelly[57] and Gary Green[58] once again, did most games, while Al Albert and Green called the rest. In all, USA covered about 55 games, including 33 in the regular season.[59] Also, Hartford Whalers goaltender Mike Liut was added as an intermission analyst for the Stanley Cup Finals.[60][61]

Games 1 and 2 of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals were on OLN, while the remainder of the series was on NBC.

Under the terms of the contract running from 2007–2011, Versus aired 54 or more NHL games each season, generally on Monday and Tuesday nights, and provided coverage of as many Stanley Cup Playoff games as possible (generally two per night in the first two rounds; the Conference Finals are usually played on alternating days), and two games of the Stanley Cup Finals (Games 3 and 4 in 2009,[62] 2010 and 2011).

In 2014, NBCSN broadcast Games 3 and 4, while NBC televised the remaining games. NBC Sports originally planned to repeat its coverage pattern from the last few seasons: NBCSN would televise Games 2 and 3, while NBC would broadcast Game 1, and then Games 4 through 7.[63] After the League scheduled Game 2 on the day of the Belmont Stakes, coverage of games two and four were switched so NBC's telecast of the horse race would serve as lead-in programming to Game 2. Due to the death of a family member, NBC lead play-by-play announcer Mike Emrick missed Game 1. Kenny Albert, who was also the New York Rangers radio announcer for WEPN and announced several national games (including the Western Conference Finals) for NBC/NBCSN, filled in for Emrick in the first game.[64]

It was originally announced that Games 2 and 3 of the 2015 Finals were to be broadcast by NBCSN, with the remainder on NBC. Game 2 was moved to NBC to serve as a lead-out for its coverage of the 2015 Belmont Stakes in favor of Game 4 on NBCSN. As Eddie Olczyk was also a contributor to NBC's Belmont coverage, he missed Game 2.[65][66][67]

On May 27, 2016, NBC Sports announced that if the Finals was tied at 1-1 entering Game 3, then it would have aired on NBC and Game 4 televised on NBCSN. However, if one team led 2-0 (as this eventually happened; Penguins led 2–0), Game 3 would be moved to NBCSN and then Game 4 on NBC.[68]

Pursuant to the announcement of Turner Sports (now TNT Sports) claiming the NHL's new “B” package for the 2021–22 season, on April 27, 2021, TNT will air three Stanley Cup Finals in 2023, 2025 and 2027. In the 2023 Finals, TNT's coverage was simulcast on sister networks TruTV and TBS, the latter unavailable on Tuesdays due to Major League Baseball coverage.

Syndication edit

In the United States, the clinching game of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals on the evening of Thursday, May 5 aired on RKO General's stations, such as WOR-TV in New York City and WHCT in Hartford, Connecticut. The commentators for RKO's coverage on that occasion were Bob Wolff and Emile Francis. Wolff at the time did play-by-play for New York Rangers games seen on WOR. Although the TV listings page of the May 5, 1966 edition of the Boston Globe indicated that RKO-owned WNAC-TV in Boston would not carry the game,[69] the then-ABC-affiliated station did clear the broadcast at the last minute.

The 1976 Stanley Cup Finals on the NHL Network marked the first time that the NHL's championship series was nationally televised in its entirety in the United States.[70][71] Starting in the 1978 playoffs, the NHL Network began simulcasting many games with Hockey Night in Canada. In these games, Dan Kelly, who was the NHL Network's lead play-by-play broadcaster, was assigned to do play-by-play along with HNIC color commentators.

The entire 1979 Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers was simulcast as well.[72] However, had that final gone to Game 7, then that game would have been broadcast on ABC.[73]

Hughes televised Games 1-5 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals[74] (the final game, Game 6, was broadcast by CBS). Hughes technically, used CBC's Hockey Night in Canada feeds for the American coverage of the first five games of the Stanley Cup Finals.

clincher on a Tuesday night and the 1972 Stanley Cup Finals clincher 40 on a Thursday night In 1971 CBS was not scheduled to broadcast Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals but showed the prime time contest the first ever occurrence of an NHL game being nationally televised in prime time in the United States between the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Black Hawks after fans reportedly swamped switchboards at network headquarters in New York City asking that the seventh game be televised Ironically the game was not telecast by CBS Chicago owned and operated station WBBM TV nor on CBS affiliates in most of Illinois except areas near St Louis and parts of Indiana Wisconsin and Iowa due to Blackhawks owner Arthur M Wirtz policy of not telecasting home games While Dan Kelly once again handled all of the play by play work Jim Gordon replaced Bill Mazer 41 in 1970 71 For the CBS Stanley Cup Finals coverage during this period a third voice was added to the booth Phil Esposito in 1971 and Harry Howell in 1972 During the 1972 Stanley Cup Finals between the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers CBS took a rather calculated risk in not televising the Game 5 match on May 9 CBS aired regular programming including the original Hawaii Five O in that time period on that Tuesday night This was despite the fact that Game 5 was a potential clincher with the Bruins up three games to one on the Rangers CBS ultimately lucked out since the Rangers won Game 5 3 2 and televised the clincher Game 6 on Thursday night May 11 In 1979 ABC was contracted to televise game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals 42 43 Since the Finals ended in five games the contract was void 44 Had there been a Game 7 then Al Michaels would have called play by play alongside Jim McKay between periods host Bobby Clarke color commentator and Frank Gifford reporter who would have been in the winning team s dressing room to interview players and coaches as well as hand the phone to the winning team s coach that would have allowed him to talk to both President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau This would give Michaels the honor of being the first announcer to call the play by play in all four major sports having called the Super Bowl the World Series and NBA Finals The game would have started at 5 10 p m Eastern Daylight Time on a Saturday replacing Wide World of Sports and local news shows that typically followed it on ABC stations in the Eastern and Central time zones Mainly influenced by the United States men s Olympic hockey team s surprise gold medal victory dubbed The Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid several months prior 45 CBS agreed to pay 37 million to broadcast the sixth game of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals In return the NHL happily moved 46 the starting time from prime time to the afternoon 47 The Saturday afternoon game was the first full American network telecast of an NHL game since Game 5 of the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals aired on NBC By this time Dan Kelly 48 was joined by former NHL on NBC commentator Tim Ryan 49 Kelly did play by play for the first and third periods as well as overtime 50 Meanwhile Tim Ryan did play by play only for the second period Minnesota North Stars general manager Lou Nanne 51 was the color commentator throughout the game This turned out to be the last NHL game on American network television until NBC televised the 1990 All Star Game 52 53 FOX split coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals with ESPN Game 1 of the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals was the first Finals game shown on network television since 1980 and the first in prime time since 1973 FOX was scheduled to televise Games 1 5 and 7 and ESPN airs Games 2 3 4 and 6 However from 1995 to 1998 the Finals matches were all four game sweeps the 1999 Finals ended in six games The consequence was that except for 1995 when Fox did televise game four the decisive game was never shown on network television Perhaps in recognition of this Games 3 through 7 were always televised by ABC in the succeeding broadcast agreement between the NHL and ABC Sports ESPN Before the 2004 05 lockout the NHL had reached two separate deals with NBC who would replace ABC as the NHL s American national broadcast television partner and ESPN ESPN offered the NHL 60 million for about 40 games only fifteen of which would be during the regular season all on ESPN2 with presumably only some midweek playoff games the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals and the All Star Game airing on ESPN 54 The NBC deal stipulated that the network would pay the league no rights fees an unheard of practice to that point NBC s deal included six regular season windows seven postseason broadcasts and Games 3 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in primetime The contracts were to commence when the lockout ended The NBC deal expired after the 2006 07 season and NBC had picked up the option to renew for the 2007 08 season Just like the AFL NBC agreement which the network did not renew in 2006 The NHL and NBC shared in revenues from advertising As part of ESPN s new deal with the NHL which starts with the 2021 22 season ABC will exclusively air four Stanley Cup Finals over the life of the contract 2022 2024 2026 and 2028 This will be the first time that a broadcast over the air network will exclusively air the Stanley Cup Finals Cable edit TNT 2023 2025 2027 ESPN 1986 1988 1993 2004 NBCSN 2012 2021

and Green called the rest In all USA covered about 55 games including 33 in the regular season 59 Also Hartford Whalers goaltender Mike Liut was added as an intermission analyst for the Stanley Cup Finals 60 61 Games 1 and 2 of the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals were on OLN while the remainder of the series was on NBC Under the terms of the contract running from 2007 2011 Versus aired 54 or more NHL games each season generally on Monday and Tuesday nights and provided coverage of as many Stanley Cup Playoff games as possible generally two per night in the first two rounds the Conference Finals are usually played on alternating days and two games of the Stanley Cup Finals Games 3 and 4 in 2009 62 2010 and 2011 In 2014 NBCSN broadcast Games 3 and 4 while NBC televised the remaining games NBC Sports originally planned to repeat its coverage pattern from the last few seasons NBCSN would televise Games 2 and 3 while NBC would broadcast Game 1 and then Games 4 through 7 63 After the League scheduled Game 2 on the day of the Belmont Stakes coverage of games two and four were switched so NBC s telecast of the horse race would serve as lead in programming to Game 2 Due to the death of a family member NBC lead play by play announcer Mike Emrick missed Game 1 Kenny Albert who was also the New York Rangers radio announcer for WEPN and announced several national games including the Western Conference Finals for NBC NBCSN filled in for Emrick in the first game 64 It was originally announced that Games 2 and 3 of the 2015 Finals were to be broadcast by NBCSN with the remainder on NBC Game 2 was moved to NBC to serve as a lead out for its coverage of the 2015 Belmont Stakes in favor of Game 4 on NBCSN As Eddie Olczyk was also a contributor to NBC s Belmont coverage he missed Game 2 65 66 67 On May 27 2016 NBC Sports announced that if the Finals was tied at 1 1 entering Game 3 then it would have aired on NBC and Game 4 televised on NBCSN However if one team led 2 0 as this eventually happened Penguins led 2 0 Game 3 would be moved to NBCSN and then Game 4 on NBC 68 Pursuant to the announcement of Turner Sports now TNT Sports claiming the NHL s new B package for the 2021

of Thursday May 5 aired on RKO General s stations such as WOR TV in New York City and WHCT in Hartford Connecticut The commentators for RKO s coverage on that occasion were Bob Wolff and Emile Francis Wolff at the time did play by play for New York Rangers games seen on WOR Although the TV listings page of the May 5 1966 edition of the Boston Globe indicated that RKO owned WNAC TV in Boston would not carry the game 69 the then ABC affiliated station did clear the broadcast at the last minute The 1976 Stanley Cup Finals on the NHL Network marked the first time that the NHL s championship series was nationally televised in its entirety in the United States 70 71 Starting in the 1978 playoffs the NHL Network began simulcasting many games with Hockey Night in Canada In these games Dan Kelly who was the NHL Network s lead play by play broadcaster was assigned to do play by play along with HNIC color commentators The entire 1979 Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers was simulcast as well 72 However had that final gone to Game 7 then that game would have been broadcast on ABC 73 Hughes televised Games 1 5 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals 74 the final game
