The New York Islanders have officially done an about-face on radio broadcasts, naming Alan Fuehring as their new play-by-play voice for the 2025-26 season. Fuehring will call about 70 games this year, most solo, with occasional guest analysts. It’s a huge moment for him — after nine years behind the mic for Bridgeport and several MSG fill-in stints, he’s earned his shot. Fuehring already knows the players, he knows the organization, and at just 35 years old, he represents a fresh energy on the broadcast side.
But as exciting as this step forward feels, it’s impossible not to acknowledge the mixed emotions that come with it.
