Hall of Fame Broadcast Partners to Call Game Together, Celebrating Rosen’s 40 Years as Voice of Rangers Ahead of Retirement

TNT Sports today announced that the Hockey Hall of Fame sportscasting duo of Sam Rosen and John Davidson will reunite in the broadcast booth for TNT’s presentation of the New York Rangers hosting the Philadelphia Flyers on April 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Rosen and Davidson will call the action, bringing back together one of the most venerated broadcast tandems in hockey television history.

Last August, Rosen announced his retirement following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season. The famed voice of the New York Rangers on MSG Networks for 40 years, Rosen had teamed up with Davidson in the booth from 1986 through 2006, which among many other memorable moments included their iconic call of the New York Rangers’ Stanley Cup victory in 1994.

Rosen has won four New York Emmy Awards for MSG Networks’ Rangers coverage and has been nominated eight times for achievement in play-by-play. Rosen also called games for NHL Radio for 13 years (1996–2008), including 12 Stanley Cup Finals. He was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. Rosen was also the recipient of the 2016 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Following 10 seasons goaltending for the New York Rangers and the St. Louis Blues, Davidson joined MSG Networks’ hockey coverage, teaming with Rosen as color analyst. His contributions to Rangers broadcasts as well as his broadcast work across national NHL telecasts and numerous All-Star Games, Stanley Cup Finals and five Olympic Games were honored with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster by the Hockey Hall of Fame. Since 2006, he has held several front office positions with the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers, and currently serves as senior advisor and alternate governor for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
