Fred Cusick, longtime voice of Bruins, dead at 90

BOSTON (AP) - Fred Cusick, the longtime play-by-play voice of the Boston Bruins, has died. Cusick's son, Ted, says his father died at his home in Barnstable, Mass., early Tuesday after suffering from cancer. He was 90. Cusick called Bruins games on radio and television for more than four decades, beginning his career with radio broadcasts in 1952. He called Boston's Stanley Cup championship in 1970, when Bobby Orr scored the winning goal in overtime. He would later call that season and that play among the greatest highlights of his career. Cusick moved to television in 1971 and retired from calling Bruins games in 1997. Cusick was scheduled to be inducted Wednesday into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
