Alan Trautwig was a sports commentator who worked with MSG Network, ABC, NBC, NBC Sports Network, and USA Network. He most recently did pre-game and post-game shows for the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, as well as fill-in play-by-play for both teams.
Trautwig had a long career as a New York sportscaster and also called national NHL games and Olympics gymnastics. Known for his lengthy stint at MSG, where he called Yankees baseball, Knicks basketball and a wide range of other live events along with studio programming, Trautwig also was a prominent voice for the NHL, serving as a studio host and sometime-announcer on USA Network broadcasts in the 1980s. He also was the host of NBC's Ironman triathlon championships that decade.
Among the other sports he covered were the U.S. Open in tennis, the Tour de France, the Arena Football League, but he likely was best known nationally as a play-by-play man for NBC's coverage of Olympic and other championship gymnastics events.
