JP Dellacamera

John Paul Dellacamera (born in Waltham, Massachusetts), known as JP (no periods), is the voice of Major League Soccer for ABC. He is also ABC's play-by-play man for their coverage of international soccer, a sport he's been calling for nearly 30 years. His most famous assignment was calling the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final between the United States women's national soccer team, and the Chinese women's national soccer team, which ended in a 0-0 tie after regulation, with the U.S. women winning in a penalty kick shootout 5-4 ("The shot-save, Scurry!" was one of Dellacamera's most memorable calls from that day's shootout, coming from U.S. goalkeeper Briana Scurry's save on China's third kick of the shootout). Dellacamera was NBC's play-by-play voice for soccer at the 2004 Summer Olympics, where he did both the men's and women's tournaments. He also does play-by-play for Red Bull New York on MSG Network. Other famous soccer assignments include the 1999 UEFA Champions League final and numerous United States World Cup qualifiers, including Paul Caligiuri's famed 1989 "Shot Heard Round the World" goal against Trinidad & Tobago.

Dellacamera is also an NHL announcer, as he is the play-by-play voice of the Atlanta Thrashers for Turner South, and served as one of ESPN's many play-by-play commentators at the start of each Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Dellacamera also hosted an ESPNSoccernet show titled ESPNSoccernet Press Pass, in which he was the "referee" to analysts Tommy Smyth, Eddie Mighten, and Mike Hill. The show never airs only in Sydney, Auckland, Africa, Israel, and the Middle East. However, American viewers can watch the show online on ESPN's website. Dellacamera has been replaced by Derek Rae, and Mighten and Hill have been replaced by Janusz Michallik. Only Smyth remains on the panel.
