Episode 31: Talking Islanders With WBAB’s Roger Luce

The Isles Faithful Podcast

In Episode 31 Mike gets back to talking Islanders hockey, this time with Roger Luce – one half of the WBAB 102.3 Morning Show Roger and JP. For those that do not know, Roger is the long time public address announcer for the New York Islanders.

Roger has been in that position since 1998, though since the move to Brooklyn has had to take a step back and allow Alex Anthony to take a bulk of the work (he’s equally as good, btw). It’s an understandable shift in availability as you’ll hear Roger explain due to his schedule on the radio.

This episode was really fun for me, having a radio professional like Roger talk about some of his experience both in radio and through the Islanders. Roger tells me of some memorable stories of being behind the glass in between the penalty boxes and we even got a little side tracked talking music and some other topics.

Also brought up, about this fantastic Islanders season and get interrupted when Brock Nelson scored his second period goal last night.

It’s evident that Roger is a fan of the team himself, which is a great thing – given the amount of stories we covered in our half hour chatting together.

If you don’t follow Roger on Twitter, please give him some love. You can also stream his awesome radio show (which I have been a fan of a LONG time) on WBAB.com
