It’s Hockey Fights Cancer Night tonight at the AAC, as the Stars take on the Blue Jackets. This year, the game takes on added meaning as play-by-play announcer Dave Strader is currently battling cancer.
For the first time since the 1970s, Strader, 61, isn't calling hockey games. He was a fixture in press boxes and on national broadcasts for four decades from Detroit to Arizona to Florida to Dallas, from ESPN to NBC, before he began his battle with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that attacks the bile duct.
Razor, who’s taken over play-by-play duties, put it this way.
