BOB KURTZ
Game 572 | October 19, 2000 | Bob Kurtz, Barry Buetel
A Detroit native, Kurtz spent seven seasons as the main television play-by-play announcer of the Minnesota North Stars. He was named radio play-by-play announcer for the Minnesota Wild before the start of the team's inaugural season. Buetel, an Edina native and son of long-time local sports announcer Frank Buetel, did color analysis with Kurtz.
Game 663 | October 6, 2005 | Bob Kurtz, Doug Risebrough
It was the fifth season behind the radio microphone for veteran broadcaster Kurtz. He and President/General Manager Risebrough previewed the up-coming 2005-06 season. The Wild roster was the third youngest in the league, and they were led in scoring by veteran center Brian Rolston. Winger Benoit Pouliot was the team's first-round draft choice.
Game 733 | April 7, 2009 | Bob Kurtz, Ralph Stangis
In an entertaining session Strangis told of wrangling every announcing job he could find before getting a chance to call North Stars hockey. Still a Minnesotan at heart, he has done Stars broadcasts since the team moved to Dallas. Kurtz, the radio play-by-play voice of the Minnesota Wild from day one, traced his career from the Twins to the Red Sox and back to Minnesota.
