Barry Melrose, who has served as an NHL analyst at ESPN for nearly three decades and coached Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings to the Stanley Cup Final in 1993, has retired from the network after a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
“I’ve had over 50 extraordinary years playing, coaching and analyzing the world’s greatest game, hockey,” Melrose, 67, said in a statement. “It’s now time to hang up my skates and focus on my health, my family, including my supportive wife Cindy, and whatever comes next.”
His longtime friend and network colleague John Buccigross had revealed the news on social media — hours before the 2023-24 NHL season begins.
“Barry Melrose has Parkinson’s disease and is stepping away from our ESPN family to spend more time with his,” Buccigross wrote on X/Twitter. “I’ve worked with Barry at ESPN for over a quarter century. Cold beers and hearty laughs in smokey cigar bars.

For the last few years, developer EA Vancouver has been working toward creating the best hockey experience on the market. Each year, they’ve added new features and tweaked older, more established ones, and incrementally, the NHL franchise gotten better and better. For NHL 19, it all comes together to present one of the best hockey games ever, and while that’s an admittedly heady declaration, there’s still room for improvement.
As with most sports video games, there’s not much more you can do to represent that actual sport. EA Vancouver checked the boxes in recent years with their incredible stick control options and player-controlled dekes, and last year’s entry even gave the player more control on the ice, creating options for between-the-leg passes and multiple ways to shoot the puck, accentuating finesse as much as force.

eOne Features is to close its London-based international film sales operation as the Canadian company shifts further towards production and distribution.
ScreenDaily has learned that up to 15 staff at the international sales division could be impacted and the team will not attend the Efm in Berlin next month.
However, some employees may be offered new roles within the company.
The development comes almost exactly one year after the departure of eOne Films International president Harold van Lier.
At the time the hierarchy wanted to focus more heavily on promoting in-house content under production chief Xavier Marchand.
The sales business was folded into the development and production operations and last summer the film unit was rebranded eOne Features.
In the last year, the sales force has worked on the likes of Eye In The Sky and Message From The King but insiders say overall it has struggled to compete with Hollywood’s top sales agents.
