Ralph Strangis has decided to leave Stars and pursue new interests

Stars play-by-play man Ralph Strangis has decided to leave the Stars and pursue new challenges, he said Thursday afternoon.

“It’s my decision, and it comes at a time when I’m able to look at new opportunities and new challenges, and I just feel now is the time to do that,” Strangis said. “My daughter is going to college, I’m single, I don’t have a house…I have a lot of different interests, and this will give me a chance to look at my life and try something different.”

Strangis, 54, joined the Minnesota North Stars in 1990 and served as color analyst with Hall-of-Fame announcer Al Shaver.
