John Gurtler

John Gurtler II is an American sportscaster. He is most noted for having succeeded Ted Darling as television play-by-play announcer for the Buffalo Sabres, a position he held from 1992 until 1995. Previously, he served as the intermission host from 1989 to 1991. He currently serves as the radio play-by-play announcer for the Buffalo Bandits (with Randy Mearns as his color commentator) and has served as the public address announcer for the Buffalo Bills.

Gurtler hails from Denver,[1] and is an alumnus of Western State Colorado University. He is married to Mary Gurtler, and lives in Orchard Park.[2] The family made headlines when a 2008 post-prom party held on the premises was raided by local police and it was discovered that copious amounts of alcohol were being served to the mostly underage patrons, totaling at least seventy in all.[3][4] Gurtler and his son pleaded guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and were granted conditional discharges.[5]
