Hall of Fame broadcaster Mike Lange, famous for his legendary slogans surrounding Pittsburgh Penguins goals, has announced he will be retiring from the broadcast booth after 46 seasons. The 73-year old Lange missed most of last season due to precautionary reasons surrounding the pandemic, but returned to call two home playoff games against the New York Islanders. They will be his final broadcasts. Josh Getzoff will take over as Lange’s full-time replacement.
Another legendary broadcaster, Bob Jenkins, has passed away at the age of 73 after a battle with brain cancer. Jenkins was the lead motorsports announcer for ESPN for more than 20 years, and called the Indianapolis 500 on television and radio for decades. He worked for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network for over five decades and was chief announcer for IMS from 1990 to 1998. Jenkins retired from TV in 2012.
