Jon Summers should definitely go in. Long and distinguished career. Great voiceover talent as well.
 
The Buffalo Broadcasters Association Final List Of 2025 Inductees:

Maryalice Demler, Anchor, WGRZ-TV
Jericka Duncan, CBS Weekend News Anchor
Rob Ray, Buffalo Sabres Broadcast Team
Hank Nevins, Host, WBEN/WLVL
Kevin Keenan, formerly of WBEN
Todd Broady, Director of Production, Audacy Buffalo
Dave Jickster, 97 Rock
 
Rob Ray? Lol. I guess Bulldog will get in if that's the low standard.
He is the only one on the list I ever heard proclaim the F-word loud & clear during a live broadcast!

Of course I don't believe any of the other inductees, of this or any year for that matter, were ever hit in the face with a puck during a broadcast. And for what it's worth, it was very clear and concise. Enunciated perfectly.
 
Worked for Dan Fischer at WKSN Jamestown from 1979-1981. Would have been wonderful to see him and Jon Summers get in.
