Boston Bruins legendary announcer Fred Cusick narrates the historical video - “When the Reds Ruled the Roost”, a historical tribute to the Rhode Island Reds hockey team.
The program is a compelling video history about the immensely popular Rhode Island Reds. It includes rare film, photos and many colorful stories from former players, hockey Hall of Famers, owners, general managers and coaches.
Show producer Joe Rocco says he has spent the past 18 months conducting interviews with former hockey greats and collecting photos and film clips that haven’t been seen in decades.
“We are thrilled to have Mr. Cusick on board to narrate this program. He called Bruins games for 44 years and he still sounds great. He is the Curt Gowdy of hockey as far as I’m concerned and his participation will only enhance this project,“ Rocco said.
“When the Reds Ruled The Roost,“ first premiered at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, on April 2.
DVDs, including more than 25 minutes of bonus material are available now. Click here to purchase.
