Doc Emrick

Mike "Doc" Emrick is a sports commentator, mainly working with professional hockey (specifically, the NHL).  He's been at the gig since 1973, and has won a number of awards for his work, including the Lester Patrick Award  and was inducted into the US Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011.  He currently works for NBC & NBCSports, but has worked for CBS, ABC, TNT, ESPN, Fox, CSTV, SportsChannel Philadelphia,PRISM, Fox Sports Net, and others in the past.

I'm not really an NHL fan, so I don't think I've heard his calls much outside of some Olympic coverage (he also called water polo in the 2012 Olympics, and I think I recall that as I watched a few games.), but apparently he has a penchant for finding different ways to indicate that a player passed the puck. Then "the internet" got an idea:

    Love the name of that award, too! But I have to think that part of the audio from that video would make a really awesome ringtone.

      Yes, that was a fun find. Perhaps I'll have to dig a bit more into that award someday. Adding to my list of potential posts while also removing. I'll never run out!

      Does anyone else find this a bit "racy" as well? Maybe my mind is too far in the gutter.
