It’s hard to imagine that anyone is more qualified than Sam Flood to mastermind NBC’s coverage of the Winter Classic NHL showpiece between the Bruins and Flyers on New Year’s Day at Fenway Park.

Flood, a coordinating producer for the network whose talents have been rewarded with 10 Emmy Awards, is no novice or outsider when it comes to hockey in Massachusetts. He grew up in Dedham, played on an outdoor rink while attending Noble & Greenough, and lettered at Williams College (Class of ’83), where he was the Ephs’ captain as a senior.
