Pro or amateur. He is energetic, he is prepared and he is authentic. All of us in Hockey East have been the beneficiaries of his unique contributions and I am happy we are honoring him with this award.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caron serves as studio host for NESN\u2019s Boston Red Sox programming alongside baseball Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice and former Red Sox legends Tim Wakefield and Steve Lyons.

The multi-talented announcer joined NESN in 1995 as co-host of Front Row, a nightly sports magazine program.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining NESN, Caron worked at WPTZ-TV in Plattsburgh, N.Y., , WNNE-TV in Hanover, N.H., and WGME-TV in Portland, Maine. He also worked as the AHL&#8217;s Portland Pirates play-by-play announcer and was inducted into the Pirates&#8217; Hall of Fame in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>A three-time New England Emmy winner, Caron is involved in numerous charities, serving on the advisory board of Good Sports, a non-profit that provides sporting equipment for inner-city youth programs, and is heavily involved in the work of Mass Mentoring, the Red Sox Foundation and Mass Hockey.
