Bonus Episode: Phil Hulett Interview

Send us Fan MailOne voice can change the temperature of an entire arena, and Anaheim Ducks public address announcer Phil Hulett has been proving that for years. We talk with Phil about the real job behind the mic, the moments fans remember, and the invisible pressure of getting every detail right when 17,000 people are listening and the game is moving at full speed. Phil tells the origin story that still feels unreal: a simple cold call that led to an Angels tryout, a mentor who taught him the ropes in real time, and the lessons he carried into hockey. From signature goal calls to the JMG Power Play cadence, we dig into how an NHL PA announcer builds excitement without losing clarity, and why speaking to “you” can be more powerful than addressing a crowd. We also get into the messy side of live sports, including a chaotic penalty announcement during a Ducks vs Maple Leafs game where conflicting headset info created on-air confusion, plus the challenge of announcing from the rafters instead of ice level. If you love the Honda Center game-night experience, crowd participation, and the craft of sports announcing, this conversation delivers stories and practical insight.
