The suddenness of Sterling’s retirement makes me think he has an imminent health issue.

Speaking of health issues and sudden retirements, Jack Edwards announced he'll be leaving the booth after the first playoff series that he announces this year on NESN. IIRC he joined the Bruins around 2005 or 2006 and had been a long time part of other areas including ESPN before that. He's always been very divisive as an announcer but I liked his homerism and the fact he didn't try to hide it and be neutral to both teams.

Edwards, longtime voice of Bruins, set to retire

Jack Edwards will retire following the season, ending his 19-year run as the Bruins' play-by-play voice for NESN.

I don't have the link right now, but he said he enjoyed doing what he wanted during the offseason to the point he was dreading the season started and should have just announced his retirement March 1
