Jim Cerny is Voice of the Venom, serving as their lead play-by-play broadcaster. He also produces hockey content and information, including exclusive interviews, insider blogs and stories for the Venom's official team web site and social media accounts. 

Cerny brings three decades of professional hockey experience to the Venom. He was the radio play-by-play broadcaster for the New York Islanders and digital content producer/in-house beat reporter for the New York Rangers. The veteran broadcaster and journalist also worked on Rangers broadcasts alongside Kenny Albert, covered hockey for The New York Times and Sporting News, and was managing editor for NHL.com. He co-hosted the NHL Live talk show on Sirius/XM with well-known radio personality Don Lagreca.

Currently, Cerny is Executive Editor/lead content creator for Forever Blueshirts, a web site covering the Rangers.

Cerny looks to add to his ring collection with the Venom. He's earned five championship rings during his career -- the first four as a minor league baseball broadcaster and executive, and most recently in 2022-23 with the Danbury Hat Tricks of the FPHL.
