- Bob_Wilson_(sportscaster) abstract "Bob Wilson (born Robert Henry Castellon, 1929, Arlington, Massachusetts) is a retired American radio personality who served as the longtime voice of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League. In 1987, Wilson was honoured with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award, enshrining him in the broadcasters' wing of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcaster's Hall of Fame in 2007. His booming baritone voice and his ability to articulate for radio listeners the dynamic flow and possession changes of ice hockey distinguished him from his peers. He also was noted for his detailed descriptions of hockey fights, which pleased his fans but sometimes gained him disapproval from critics.Wilson worked at various radio stations in the Boston area, including at WCOP in Boston, where he was a top-40 disc jockey in the late 1950s. By the mid 1960s, he became a staff announcer at WHDH-AM 850 (now WEEI), where he worked as the analyst on Bruins' games and was the weekend sports anchor on the then WHDH-TV Channel 5, the city's CBS affiliate. From 1964-67, Wilson served as the color commentator for the Bruins' radio broadcasts alongside radio voice Bill Harrington. In 1967, he succeeded Jim Laing as the radio voice of the Bruins, his promotion coinciding with the team's rise to a Stanley Cup contender, led by Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito. However, when the Bruins departed WHDH for WBZ-AM 1030 in 1969, Wilson was put out of a job. He left Boston and joined the sports staff of St. Louis radio powerhouse KMOX, and missed Boston's 1970 Stanley Cup triumph.In the summer of 1971, he returned to Boston when WBZ restored him to the radio play-by-play post after Boston hockey broadcasting legend Fred Cusick switched from radio to WSBK-TV and the Bruins' TV network. In Wilson's first year back at the Bruins' microphone, he called Boston's 1972 Cup win. He then continued as the team's voice through 1994 when he chose to retire during the 1994–95 NHL lockout. He later worked part-time hosting a music program on 104.9FM WLKZ in New Hampshire's Lakes Region where he had become a longtime resident.Wilson's reputation was such that in 1979, ABC Sports had selected him to do play-by-play of the seventh game of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, had it been played (the game would have been held on Saturday May 26, 1979, starting at 5 P.M. EDT, pre-empting Wide World Of Sports and local early-evening newscasts on ABC stations in the Eastern and Central time zones). Wilson would have worked with Bobby Clarke (analyst), Jim McKay between periods host and Frank Gifford (who would have done post-game interviews from the winning team's locker room). But Montreal won the series in five games, and thus, Wilson never got the network TV exposure. During the early 1980s, Wilson did do play-by-play for national radio broadcasts of the Finals, produced by Mariner Communications, the parent of WITS Boston, the Bruins' radio flagship at the time.".
