BOSTON -- Jack Edwards is retiring after 19 years as the Boston Bruins' play-by-play announcer, the team announced Tuesday.

Edwards has described the position broadcasting for the Bruins on NESN as his "dream job," which he started in 2005 after spending more than a decade at ESPN. He will continue calling Bruins games through the end of the playoffs.

Edwards, 67, has struggled recently with slowed speech, for which he has received therapy. He spoke about the issue to The Boston Globe in February.
