Biography

Early life and career

Larrivee was born in Lee, Massachusetts and attended Emerson College in Boston, where he graduated with a degree in mass communications.

During his time at Emerson, he practiced the craft of play by play by spending many nights in the old Boston Garden, calling games from high above courtside into his trusty tape recorder. He would astound the regular news staff at WECB, the Emerson carrier current station, with after game interviews, and up-close reflections on the actions of the night during the 10 PM extended news broadcast.
