Growing up listening to Rick Jeanneret was staple of my childhood. I still remember being in the car with my dad coming back from hockey and listening to the May Day call, I remember being downtowns buffalo when Drury scored with seconds left and hearing Rick call the play by play. The Campbell hit, Rob Ray fights, Brier top shelf goal; the list goes on.
I never liked listening to sports radio play by play unless it was Rick, he had a way with words to make you envision the atmosphere, the action on ice and the emotions like you are seeing it live yourself.
Truly one of a kind talent and great person he was always happy to talk with fans.
RIP Rick 🏒🥅
