After Rosen made his announcement, the Rangers president and general manager, Chris Drury, released a heartfelt statement:
«Congratulations to Sam on a truly historic broadcasting career and for providing generations of Rangers fans with unforgettable moments.
After growing up as a Rangers fan listening to Sam on television, it's been an absolute pleasure to get to know him on a personal level in my years as a player and executive.
Sam will forever be connected with New York Rangers hockey and Sam and his family will always be a part of our Rangers family.»
Without a doubt Rosen will be missed by many fans as his voice has been a staple of the New York Rangers for the last 40 years.
