Miller will call two more Kings games on FOX Sports West - April 8 at home against the Chicago Blackhawks (3 p.m.) and April 9 in Anaheim against the Ducks (5:30 p.m.). He is currently on a medical leave of absence.

LA Kings Hockey Hall of Fame play-by-play broadcaster Bob Miller will return to the Kings TV broadcast booth in April and then retire upon the conclusion of the regular season, Miller and the Kings announced during a news conference today at STAPLES Center.

"Due to four separate health incidents the last year, quadruple bypass heart surgery, a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), a mild stroke and a stent placed in my left carotid artery, and with doctor's advice to slow down, it's time for me to retire," Miller said.

"I have been fortunate to work in a career I've always wanted, to be a radio-TV sports announcer for 57 years, 44 of those years as the Los Angeles Kings play-by-play broadcaster. Not many of us get to enjoy five decades, 3,351 games, in a career that has brought so much joy and excitement.

"I have worked for every owner the Kings have ever had and I appreciate that opportunity and their support as well as the support from AEG, FOX Sports West, Kings coaches and players, my broadcast partners, newspaper reporters, radio-TV announcers, the Kings fans and my family.

"I plan to broadcast two more games and then I hope to have some quality years and enjoyment in retirement."

Miller this season took a limited broadcasting role with the Kings for the first time in this his 44th season with the Kings with the plan to miss several road games and broadcast 58 total contests during the Kings' 50th Anniversary celebration.

Miller's last Kings broadcast took place on January 16 at STAPLES Center. He suffered the mild stroke in late January.

The final Kings regular season home game against the Blackhawks will be Bob Miller Appreciation Day at STAPLES Center and the Kings will publicly honor Miller early in the 2017-18 NHL regular season. Additional details relating to each of these events will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Miller and TV Analyst Jim Fox have worked together on TV for more consecutive seasons than any other current club TV broadcasting team.

Ralph Strangis will continue to broadcast Kings games on FOX Sports West this season in Miller's absence alongside Fox.
