Goucher, a Pawtucket, Rhode Island, native, headed 60 miles up Route 95 to the BU School of Communications. That 24-year run to the most electric piece of real estate on the planet has all of its roots in the Boston area. If I was going to make a move in my career after 24 years in radio, this was the time to do it. I was really just trying to grow and get better as an announcer and challenge myself.

So is the NHL’s newest franchise, off to a historic best start at 8-3-0 into Thursday night’s hometown reunion for Goucher with the Golden Knight’s coming to TD Garden. “It’s fresh and different and a new challenge for me. “The expanse of the broadcast to Montana and Idaho and Southern California and all of Nevada, it’s a huge coverage map,” Goucher said about his new desert digs with color commentator and former Bruin Shane Hnidy.

While the Bruins broadcast map is mostly New England, Goucher’s imprimatur with the Golden Knights extends quite farther.

And now in Las Vegas where Goucher is the broadcasting face of the new Las Vegas Golden Knights. Marquee names in national sports broadcasting Michaels early on and Emrick now the best on the frozen sheet.Īdd one Dave Goucher to the up-and-coming instantly recognizable voices across the NHL – 17 years within earshot of a slapshot in any previous Boston Bruins radio broadcast. The names are recognizable – their golden voices significantly more. (Photo courtesy of Vegas Golden Knights communications)
