Rosen will receive the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster. The television voice of the Rangers since 1984, Rosen was behind the microphone when New York won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 54 years after defeating the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Final.
