Mike “Doc” Emrick has been the voice of hockey for the last three decades. He has been to more Olympic games than Michael Phelps and is the only broadcaster in the Hockey Hall of Fame. He is a former Devils announcer and no he doesn’t hate your team.
During a previous episode of HBO’s “Real Sports”, Doc Emrick opens up about his life. He explains how a boy raised by two teachers in rural Indiana became a hockey fanatic and broadcasting legend. Everything from where he was educated, to his first broadcasting opportunity, are covered in the piece.
