When it comes to play-by-play announcers in hockey, there's no one better than the great Doc Emrick. He’s been behind the mic for 18-Stanley Cup Finals, has called 13 NHL All Star games, has called both men’s and women’s Olympic Hockey games and in 2011 became the first NHL play-by-play announcer to win an Emmy for “Outstanding Sports Personality, Play-By-Play”.

In this episode of STOCKTON, the legendary Doc Emerick talks to Dick about how it all started, how he got the knick-name "Doc" and shares his personal battle in beating cancer. &nbsp;
