WFAN/New York Returns as NJ Devils Flagship

RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 5, 2017

Sports WFAN New York has extended its longstanding partnership with the New Jersey Devils to serve as its flagship for the 13th consecutive season. In addition to airing play-by-play, the games will air live on WFAN.com, beginning with this Sunday's season opener. The team also announced that former goaltender and fan favorite Glenn "Chico" Resch will serve as a radio analyst and ambassador for the 2017-2018 season. Resch will join veteran play-by-play voice Matt Loughlin.

Resch, who played six seasons as a goaltender for the Colorado Rockies/Devils organization from 1980-1986, previously served as a team broadcaster for MSG Networks' game coverage for 18 years.

"We're thrilled to have Chico back in the organization as a member of our broadcast team and in an important role as team ambassador," said New Jersey Devils Executive VP/GM Ray Shero. "He has an incredible personal connection with our fans that resonates beyond the rink. As we continue to grow our team and develop our dynamic young roster, it's essential to have people like Chico in our organization to further our culture and goal of long-term success on and off the ice."

"I have an incredible passion for the New Jersey Devils and the game of hockey, and it's exciting to be a part of this organization as it builds around such promising young players," said Resch. "I know firsthand how dedicated the Devils fanbase is and I'm looking forward to engaging with them through my work as a broadcaster and team ambassador."
