Bruins to name broadcast booth in Cusick’s honor

BOSTON—The Boston Bruins are honoring late play-by-play announcer Fred Cusick by naming the home TV broadcast booth at the TD Garden in his honor.

The “Fred Cusick Broadcast Booth” will be dedicated during the second period of the Bruins game Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The club will also install a silver microphone in a black and gold frame on a facade beneath the broadcast booth - similar to a microphone that exists in honor of former Boston Celtics broadcaster, Johnny Most.

Cusick began his career with radio broadcasts of the Bruins in 1952. He moved to television in 1971 and retired from calling games in 1997. He died Sept. 15 at age 90 after battling cancer.
