NEW YORK (October 9, 2012) -- National Hockey League Commissioner
Gary Bettman today released the following statement regarding the passing
of long-time Detroit Red Wings publicist, broadcaster and public address
announcer Budd Lynch:
"Budd Lynch had seen so much Red Wings history, had become so much a
part of their heritage, that no visit to Joe Louis Arena for a Red Wings
home game felt truly 'official' without hearing his voice. The National
Hockey League mourns the passing of a war hero, a Hall of Famer and an
outstanding ambassador for the game. We send heartfelt condolences to his
family, the Red Wings and their fans."
