Bob Wilson (born 1929, Arlington, Massachusetts) is a retired American radio personality who served as the longtime voice of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League.

Wilson's booming baritone voice and his ability to articulate for radio listeners the dynamic flow and possession changes of ice hockey distinguished him from his peers. He also was noted for his detailed descriptions of hockey fights, which pleased his fans but sometimes gained him approbation from critics. 1929 (MCMXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
