Our summer break is over. At long last we welcome Steve Clay, play-by-play voice of the Marblehead (MA) High School Headers; a public address announcer, and broadcast producer for high school, college hockey, and professional sports over the past 20 years; and a hockey dad for an 07.
Steve regales us with tales of joy and woe from many broadcast booths. Should broadcasters be homers or neutral? What’s it like to call a game with your kid playing? Why isn’t the Malden Valley Forum the worst rink?
Plus the boys kick around these important questions: How much are you spending on hockey from learn-to-skate through high school? What did Bob discover about hockey during his trip to New Orleans?
And the Wayback Machines takes us back to highlights from these episodes:
