AJR 132 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October 19th of each year as "Mike 'Doc' Emrick Day" in NJ.

This joint resolution designates October 19th of each year as "Mike 'Doc' Emrick Day" in New Jersey. It honors Mike Emrick, the longtime New Jersey Devils play-by-play announcer who retired on October 19, 2020, recognizing his 21-year career with the team, his contributions to hockey broadcasting (including the NHL Pronunciation Guide), and his inductions into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance of the day. As a commemorative measure with no policy or funding changes, it solely celebrates Emrick's legacy.
