Rick Jeanneret's son Mark is the new Play-by-play announcer for Portland

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

“Mark Jeanneret’s decision to join our staff as our Director, Communications & Team Services and become the play-by-play voice of the Portland Pirates is an unexpected, and very exciting, opportunity for our business which furthers our ties to Sabres Hockey and its rich and storied history, recognizing the legendary career of Mark’s dad, Rick Jeanneret, the play-by-play voice of the Sabres since 1971,” said Pirates Managing Owner/CEO, Brian Petrovek. “Mark brings over a decade of communications and play-by-play experience with the OHL to our company, our hockey team and to our community, and we’d bet the farm that he already bleeds Sabres blue and gold! Mark’s accomplishments, talent and bright future separated him from the dozens of quality applicants we had to choose from. We are thrilled to welcome Mark, his wife, Suzanne and daughter Mattie to our family and to Portland.”

we now know who is going to replace RJ when he decides to finally decide to hang up the mic. it's his son which I have been saying all along.

[Nighthawk]

It sure does seem like he will be the replacement...everything is pointing in that direction.

[The Spaz]

If he's half as good it would still be awesome.

Sounds like he has excitement and is a bit like his dad. I would be in favor instead of a guy like Sylvester.

[Typ0]

This is a very tough choice. Moving on to a new opportunity or trying to live in the past.

Another Jeanneret in Buffalo?

Think he'd like to replace his famous father someday? You bet.

"My dream is to someday take over for my father when he decides to hang them up," Mark Jeanneret told Sabres Edge friend Dan Hickling in Thursday's editions of the Biddeford (Me.) Journal Tribune. "I'd like to continue the Jeanneret tradition in Buffalo. This is going to be a move that will help me."

#6 "Vapor Trail" Rick's voice gets a little high pitched when Alexander Mogilny scores.

May Day still gives me the chills, every time.

While I agree RJ is great, many said the same about Ted Darling.
