Fred Cusick, the radio and television voice of the Boston Bruins for more than four decades, died Tuesday, his family said. He was 90.
Cusick's son, Ted, said his father died at his Barnstable, Mass., home after suffering from cancer. Cusick's death came one day before he was scheduled to be inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
Cusick began his career with radio broadcasts of the Bruins in 1952. He moved to television in 1971 and retired from calling games in 1997.
Cusick called Boston's Stanley Cup championship in 1970, one of the city's most famous sports moments captured in an iconic photograph of Bobby Orr flying through the air after scoring the game-winning goal in overtime.
