A wave of sadness has enveloped the sports-talk radio community with the passing of Kenny Kott. Kott, a dedicated producer at 97.1 The Ticket, died on Saturday at the age of 32. His colleagues announced the heartbreaking news on Monday, describing him as an integral part of their "dysfunctional family."
Kott had been hospitalized for several weeks after experiencing a "medical event" in early June. He was known for his on-air contributions, particularly his insights into hockey, earning him the nickname "Hockey Elite." He began his career at the station as a board operator in December 2017.
His coworkers shared heartfelt tributes, remembering his infectious laugh and profound passion for the sport. One host recalled Kott's lifelong dream of simply being part of a radio show, a dream he not only achieved but excelled at. The station recently mourned another loss with the death of host Pat Caputo last month.
