Talk about a familiar voice on hockey broadcasts in the States.

I assume John Forslund probably takes over his role as the go-to national guy on NBC.

I hope this is a real retirement and not a retirement because he got some bad news health wise. Legends voice.

He's been synonymous with hockey since I was a kid. Won't be the same without him.

Easily the best American hockey PBP man I’ve ever heard.

Given the choice, I'd always pick Doc over the CBC for play by play and then flip to CBC for intermission.

I didn't realize his "Doc" nickname came from the fact that he has a PhD in Communications.

Doc's style was not my cup of tea but by all accounts, just a great person. And the guy was smooth with a great vocabulary.

Doc has become synonymous with hockey in the US. The passion and excitement he brought to calling games undoubtedly secured many, many new fans for this sport. I will genuinely miss the atmosphere he created with his voice and his energy.

No one like him, nor will there ever be anyone else like him. The voice of hockey.

American fans got to listen to guys like Doc and Sam Rosen. I could listen to Rosen do Rangers games every day.

Well he doesn't look it, but he
is 74. Probably just calling it quits while he's still good rather than going too long like a few other broadcasters tend to. What a career anyway.
