AJ Mleczko will lend her expertise to Tuesday’s Bruins broadcast - The Boston Globe
AJ Mleczko is one of the cornerstones on which the United States women’s hockey program was built. The Nantucket native and Harvard grad, who now lives in Concord with her husband and four children, was a stalwart forward on the 1998 gold medal team in the Nagano, Japan, winter games, as well as the ’02 team that took silver in Salt Lake City.
In her post-playing days, she’s proving as adept at analyzing the sport as she was at playing it. And her bosses have noticed.
Mleczko, whose insight was on display as NBC’s women’s hockey analyst at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, will serve as the color analyst Tuesday night on NBC Sports Network’s coverage of the Bruins-Red Wings matchup. She will work with play-by-play voice Chris Cuthbert and rinkside reporter Brian Boucher.
“It’s nice to be able to talk hockey,’’ she said. “Women’s hockey, men’s hockey, it’s all the same.”
