Blackhawks Centennial Profile: Doc Emrick

As we, at WGN Radio, prepare to welcome the Chicago Blackhawks into the “Century Club,” we are celebrating Chicago’s Original 6 hockey organization by highlighting over 100 players, coaches, executives, broadcasters and personalities that have been a part of Blackhawks’ 100-year history. Every weekday leading up to and through the 2025-26 season, you will hear about a different all-time Blackhawks figure in both the morning and afternoon WGN Radio sports reports, and here on WGNRadio.com. Several eras of Chicago hockey will be represented in our profiles, voiced by Dave Eanet, Andy Masur, Charlie Roumeliotis, Kevin Powell and Jack Heinrich.

We previously covered Al Secord. Next up:

Doc Emrick was never the TV voice of the Blackhawks but during the Hawks’ Stanley Cup era, it was tough to tell.  He was at the mike for many of the team’s greatest moments. As the lead announcer for NBC, Emrick teamed with Eddie Olczyk to call such highlights as the Winter Classic, and great playoff moments like the Stanley Cup Final wins over Philadelphia, Boston and Tampa Bay. Among those moments?  Patrick Kane’s overtime Cup-winner in Philly in 2010.
