The Lewiston MAINEiacs broke a 1-1 tie with five seconds left in regulation of a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League second-round playoff series game over the weekend, causing their announcer to shriek mercilessly and nearly shatter all glass within five miles. It’s not on the clip below, but after the call he told viewers it’d be really cool if they didn’t tell anyone he screamed like that. (Okay, that’s probably not true.)
Anyway, the announcer’s name is D.J. Abisalih. He lives a pretty chill lifestyle, loves Sudoku, was an amazing street hockey goaltender, and has the dream to one day be the voice of the Boston Bruins. (That’s actually all fact.)
Have a listen … it gets exciting around the 25 second mark:
