Ralph Strangis
Ralph Strangis (born February 27, 1961) is a former 7-time Emmy Award (Lone Star) winning NHL play-by-play broadcaster who began broadcasting NHL hockey in 1990-91 with the Minnesota North Stars. Strangis relocated to Dallas with the Stars in 1993, took over as the play-by-play announcer in 1995-96, and remained there until April 11, 2015 having called over 2,200 NHL games.
Strangis is continuing his broadcasting, writing, and performing career through his 3rd Period Media online with his own original programming.
Ralph called his final NHL game on December 18, 2021 on television for the Chicago Blackhawks (in Dallas against the Stars) with Caley Chelios and Genna Rose, marking the first time the Hawks had a female analyst in their booth.
Ralph’s broadcasting and media career started with his first paying radio job in 1977 at KTWN in Anoka, Minnesota and has run on several parallel tracks. His robust production experience began at the Emmy award-winning GRFX/NOVOCOM in Los Angeles in 1983 and has continued through the present. He has supervised, written, produced, hosted and narrated long and short form documentaries, features, training and corporate videos, podcasts and audio projects, seminars and live events.
Ralph’s nearly half-century in the business working in many areas of media, sports media, writing, acting and producing content, training and developmening young broadcast talent, and work as an adjunct professor and curriculum creator (formalized with his 2016 BAAS from the University of North Texas in “Applied Technology and Performance Improvement”), makes him a very versatile pro.
Some of Ralph’s projects over the years include: “Deep in the Hearts of Texans” (writer, producer, host), 1993-94 inaugural season Dallas Stars highlight video, “The Cold War” (writer, producer), “Behind the Masc” (director, producer, writer, goaltending instructional video with Andy Moog), “Coca Cola Future Stars" (director, producer, writer training video with Bob Gainey), "Hospitality Suite" (executive producer, producer, lead actor), an American play by Roger Rueff at Gilley’s Dallas, “Citizen Hicks” (working title, a project in development of which he is associate producer, researcher, and long-form documentary interviewer), and “The Priest and the Pragmatist” (executive producer, producer, co-writer, co-host Podcast available on iTunes with Father Joshua Whitfield).
In addition to 25 years in the Stars booth, Ralph called NHL hockey on television and radio networks, for Westwood One, NBC Radio, NHL International and NHL Network. He has called 4 Winter Classics, 3 Stadium Series games, the 2018 Olympic Winter Games (men’s and women’s ice hockey) in Pyeongchang, and the 2019 NHL Global Series opener in Berlin, Lausanne, and Prague.
For the 2016-17 NHL season, Strangis worked 26 games for the Los Angeles Kings TV on Fox Sports West, filling in for the ailing Bob Miller.
