TV viewers or radio listeners in the Providence area, if they happen to be tuning in on a Friday or Saturday night, are among those who have been lucky enough to catch the smooth words coming from Northeastern alumnus and Providence College broadcaster Mike Logan, a class of '91 graduate and winner of the 2008 Joe Concannon Hockey East media award.
At Hockey East media day Monday, Logan was announced as the 17th recipient of the award, the first Northeastern alumnus to receive the honor.
The Concannon award is presented annually to someone who has shown dedication to the coverage of Hockey East and is voted on by a body of administrators, coaches and sports information directors. The award is presented each year at Hockey East media day.
"It's a nice honor, as I said on Monday, to be mentioned with [Boston University broadcaster] Bernie [Corbett] and [Northeastern broadcaster] Rob [Rudnick], two guys I got to know as I was an undergrad. And two guys that have been a tremendous support to me," Logan said.
For the past 14 years, Logan has been the play-by-play voice of the Providence College Friars hockey squad while also owning and operating his own media company, MWLsports, which broadcasts high school football games in southeastern Massachusetts.
Logan has been on the air at one station or another since his graduation in 1991, first with WPEP in Taunton, before eventually becoming the play-by-play voice for the Pawtucket Red Sox from 1997 to 2000. He was also behind the mic for Providence College hockey and women's basketball while doing work for their men's team, Harvard football and Northeastern football.
Logan cut his teeth starting in 1991 at the Northeastern student radio station WRBB. Calling a football game along with a number of hockey games for the campus station, Logan worked with Don Orsillo, now a broadcaster for the Red Sox. From 1997 to 2000, Orsillo and Logan worked together again in Pawtucket as broadcasters for the Pawtucket Red Sox.
