ESPN announced Tuesday that longtime NHL analyst Barry Melrose, 67, will retire after he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
The 2023-24 NHL season will begin without one of the sport's most prominent analysts dissecting the game. Barry Melrose, who has been with ESPN since 1996, announced Tuesday, the day of the start of the NHL season, that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and will retire. 'I've had over 50 extraordinary years playing, coaching and analyzing the world's greatest game, hockey.
Barry has given so much to the game. And now he needs our support, and all of us in hockey are here for him.' 'Barry has had a connection to the sport for an astonishing 50 years as a player, coach and analyst, and he has left an indelible mark both on and off the ice,' ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro said. 'We wish him and his family the very best.' 'Barry is a unique, one-of-a-kind person,' NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said.
Barry, we wish you well in this fight and know you will give it everything you have — as you always do.'
