The current Dallas Stars broadcaster made the announcement today through the team's twitter account and a statement in the Dallas News.
Troubling news continues today as it's been announced former Red Wings Play-By-Play announcer Dave Strader has been diagnosed with cancer.
The form of cancer has not been publicly disclosed out of respect to the Strader family.
Strader took over as play-by-play voice of the Dallas Stars in 2015 after working nationally with NBC, Versus and ESPN over the span of 20 years. He has also spent seasons as the primary broadcaster for the Phoenix Coyotes and Florida Panthers on FSN Arizona and FSN Florida.
