Last week the news broke that Don La Greca is the new play-by-play voice for New Jersey Devils television broadcasts on MSG Network.
Don was a NJ Devils fan back in the 1980’s through the early 2000’s before making the difficult decision to accept a job calling New York Rangers games.
Years later, Don has returned for his childhood dream job.
I had a great conversation with Don, we talk about a ton of things including:
– His beginnings as a New Jersey Devils fan
– The Don Koharski doughnut incident
– Some of his favorite players over the years
– New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup Championship teams
– His New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup tattoo
– Lou Lamoriello
– Tons of historic Devils figures over the years: Martin Brodeur, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Ken Daneyko, Claude Lemieux, Patrik Elias, Jacques Lemaire, Brendan Shanahan, Bobby Holik, Randy McKay, Jamie Langenbrunner, Scott Gomez, Chico Resch, Doc Emrick and many more!
– The challenges of being a play-by-play announcer
– What he hopes to bring to Devils fans
– Some of his “favorites”
& MUCH MORE!
I am excited for the upcoming season and for Don to begin his new journey as part of the New Jersey Devils family!
The Don La Greca era is here…
You can catch Don on “Don, Hahn & Rosenberg” weekdays from 3:00-7:00PM on ESPN Radio.

Gotta check this out when I get home from work. Ace got the hookup! LGD!
Happy to have Don here! So cool to see you guys interact. Welcome to NJ Don. We should get Ace on the broadcast to dig into this team of softies. Hopefully Don can be that.
Incredible, Ace! What a get!
Excited to hear Don next season
So neat u got him on the show! Keep up the good work! LGD!!!
Another reason to be excited for the upcoming season. Marty not winning the Conn Smythe still irks me. Marty stepped up when it counted most and out played Giguere in the finals. Great interview. Lets Go Devils!
Great conversation
Let's fking go!
17:25 sure but you have to adjust for inflation, if you translate that into today’s world it’s about $80 a game
Fire Ace good shit getting. Don on the pod!
I’ll miss Bill but I am pumped for Don. I know he’s wanted this job and I really thought he was gonna replace Cangy. Excited for Don and I know the passion will show in his calls. Can’t wait for the first big hit, highlight reel goal and OT winner.
Great Interview!! Looking forward to hearing him!
You know it's serious when Ace takes his hat off!!
Excellent interview…LGD!!
Ace, scoring ANOTHER quality personality for "in season" quality content in the off season. You are The Man!
Thanks, brother…keep it coming.
Let's Go Devils
Wow ace is larger than life these days awesome!
EEEEEEDDDD!!! CRANEPOOOOL!!!!
This was an amazing get, Ace! I'm so glad for you the way your channel has grown. Thank you so much for content like this!
What a great interview. I’m feeling really good about hearing him when the season starts.
Conn smythe snub still hurts a little to be sure
Great job ace this one was fun to watch
Dude you just scored the best interview of the summer! I really cannot wait to hear La Greca call the games. He is absolutely one of us…
Would love to talk 1988 with Don. I was at the parking lot after that game 7 loss too. The guys were great.
Great interview Ace.
I actually saw Clerks in a class as an undergrad at Rutgers. I can't even remember what class it was for or why the teacher played it.
I had never heard of the movie and knew nothing about it … I've rarely laughed that hard. LGD
Great stuff bro!! Fired up for Big Don, he’s had some great calls for the dusty rags. Killing with the interviews this year Ace, keep it coming! LGD!!
That 88 upset run was electric and made me a fan!!!
Great interview. Glad you're making connections and you can give us this content, Ace. NJD fans really haven't had anything like this if the team wasn't doing it and it gets kind of corporatized when they do it.
ONE OF US!
ONE OF US!
ONE OF US!
Hell ye ace!! Good get on this interview!!
Congrats on this one Ace! Don just comes across as a Devils fan. You can just tell. It’s always great to see fans like this as part of the organization, because they know what it means to be a Devils fan. It’s amazing this organization has reached this point. (I’ll always love Doc too though 😂)
Great interview Ace! I am a fairly new subscriber and really appreciate the great content you put out.

Let’s Go Devils! October hurry up !
Awesome that you interviewed Don! Well done Ace! 👍
