Larry Brooks, Hockey’s Unforgettable Voice, Leaves Behind a Legacy Shrouded in Mystery at 75
The best nights, of so many very good nights, were the ones when Larry Brooks roamed the press level and the dressing room of Madison Square Garden, hands in his front pocket, notebook in his back pocket. The poker face was intact, and it was necessary, because tucked in that notebook was The Story.
He had The Story, of course. He knew it. The players and the team’s brass knew it. All of the hundreds of potential sources who could’ve filtered him The Story knew it. His competitors sure knew it. Most of all, thousands of hockey fans hungry for news knew it, and knew that if there was something to be learned about the Rangers, the Devils or the Islanders, there was one place to find out about it.
