Welcome back to The Elmonters Podcast. In this episode, Stefen Rosner is joined by New York Islanders play-by-play voice Brendan Burke for a detailed conversation about his path to the NHL broadcast booth.

Brendan walks through how he first discovered his interest in broadcasting and the early opportunities that helped him develop his style. He discusses the steps that led him from covering the AHL to being hired to join the Islanders broadcast team and eventually calling national games. Stefen and Brendan also get into the preparation and decision-making that goes into calling games on a big stage, and how Brendan approaches potential milestone moments on the air.

Another important part of the conversation is how Brendan manages his voice and maintains consistency over the long grind of an NHL season. He explains his approach to taking care of his voice.
