“Josh Getzoff Has The Call” 12/05/24

Back for a third time on Fly Penguins Fly podcast, TV play-by-play voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Josh Getzoff sits down with Jordan and Jeff for some spirited hockey talk.

Friend of the pod Getzoff shares his account of attending last night’s US Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, at which the careers of Penguins veterans and Stanley Cup Champions Kevin Stevens and Matt Cullen were forever enshrined and immortalized.

After fielding some prompts about the current Penguins’ win streak and an otherwise fraught ’24-’25 campaign, Getzoff - a veteran broadcaster of ten NHL seasons - shares some behind-the-scenes insights from his recent experience of settling into the TV side of calling pro hockey games.
