Towards the end of the season, it was announced that Jack Edwards would be retiring, and he did so before the end of the first-round in the playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
«This job is unrivaled around the National Hockey League: an Original Six team, in a spectacular hockey market, in one of the premier cities in the country,» Sirott said via a press release. «It's my honor to be NESN's new play-by-play announcer for the Boston Bruins. It will be a privilege to work with Andy Brickley and the NESN production crew, and I'm grateful to the Boston Bruins organization, NESN and 98.5 The Sports Hub and many others, for this opportunity.»
