Legendary Rangers voice Sam Rosen retiring after next season — his 40th in team’s booth
NY Post
On the evening of June 14, 1994, from the television booth inside Madison Square Garden, Sam Rosen said the words Rangers fans had been waiting to hear for 54 years.
“The waiting is over! The New York Rangers are the Stanley Cup champions! And this one will last a lifetime!”
Rosen was asked about that famous proclamation on Tuesday morning during a conference call with local media, during which he announced the 2024-25 season — his 40th as Rangers television play-by-play announcer on MSG Networks — will be his last.
“For me it was more of a personal call. It would last my lifetime no matter what happened,” said the 77-year-old Rosen, who has called more than 3,000 Rangers games in a Hall of Fame career. “If they won three more, no more, five more … certainly the hope was that they would win a lot of Stanley Cups.
“I didn’t want to say it would last my lifetime, but that was really the meaning, that it would last a lifetime for me, and it has.”
Rosen explained that though he has never talked about age, he started to have thoughts about retirement two years ago at his surprise 75th birthday party, thrown by his wife, Jill.
