Dale Arnold (born March 27, 1956) is a sportscaster who is primarily known as the current play-by-play announcer for home games for the Boston Bruins with Andy Brickley on NESN. He has held that position since 1995.

A Bowdoin College alum, Arnold began calling games for the school teams while a student there in the mid-1970's. In 1979, he succeeded Mike Emrick as the voice of the Maine Mariners. He joined the New Jersey Devils as their radio announcer in 1986, before returning to New England two years later. Arnold called New England Patriots games from 1988-91, and is currently the Bruin announcer. ^[1]

In addition to his duties with the Bruins, Arnold currently hosts a midday talk show, Dale & Holley, with former Boston Globe columnist Michael Holley on Sportsradio 850 WEEI in Boston from 10AM-2PM. Arnold has been with the radio station since its inception in 1993, and has been a constant in the midday time slot for several years. He first teamed up with Boston sports talk radio legend Eddie Andelman on a show called the A-Team. After Andleman's departure from WEEI in 2001, he was paired with former television sportscaster Bob Neumeier on the Dale & Neumy Show. He has been paired with Michael Holly since Neumeier left the station in 2005.Since Bob Neumeiers departure,and Micheal Holleys addition,it has been obvious who is most comfortable in the back seat. ^[2]
