From the Binghamton Devils Press
Release:
Whittenburg was the Director of
Broadcasting for the Binghamton Senators for 14 seasons.
After the Senators won the Calder Cup in 2010-11,
Whittenburg was selected as the James H. Ellery Award
winner for outstanding media coverage of the American
Hockey League. He now serves as the fill-in play-by-play
radio broadcaster for the Washington Capitals and has
returned as the primary play-by-play broadcaster for
Cornell University Hockey on ESPN+. Prior to his tenure
with the Binghamton Senators, the Lansing, NY native
served as the voice of Cornell Athletics for thirteen
years.
No words were more beloved that Grady
uttered than these words while in Houston, Texas on June
7th, 2011.
"Here we go...Face off to the right of
Lehner...Cody Bass in against Warren Peters with 5.4
seconds to go. Everybody at the Toyata Center in Houston
on their feet...Players, Coaches, Fans. Houston winning
it...It rolls free out through center...They'll turn it
back in and that'll do it...The horn sounds! The
Binghamton Senators are the 2011 Calder Cup Champions...As
Robin Lehner is mobbed along the end boards down to our
left...38 years of suffering for Binghamton Hockey fans
comes to an end tonight!!!"
