Bruins’ Jack Edwards Announces He Will Miss Rest of Season Due to Illness

Beloved Broadcaster Battles Cancer

Edwards shared the news in an open letter to fans, saying he is "heartbroken" to be missing out on the rest of the season, but that his health is his top priority. He said he is grateful for the support of his family, friends, and Bruins fans and that he is confident he will be back in the booth next season.

Edwards has been a fixture in the Bruins' broadcast booth since 1995, and his passionate and knowledgeable commentary has made him a fan favorite. He is also known for his signature catchphrases, such as "you can't stop it!" and "holy mackerel!"

Edwards' diagnosis was first revealed in February, when he announced he would be taking a leave of absence to undergo treatment. He has since undergone surgery and chemotherapy, and he said in his open letter that he is making progress.
