Bertram Lebhar Jr. was an American sportscaster, radio executive, and accomplished bridge player who achieved prominence in the mid-20th century. Professionally known on the airwaves by his pseudonym, Bert Lee, Lebhar was a familiar voice to sports fans in New York. His most notable broadcasting role was serving as the radio play-by-play announcer for the New York Rangers, a position he held for fifteen years, spanning from 1939 until 1954.
Beyond his career in radio broadcasting and executive leadership, Lebhar was a highly competitive contract bridge player who competed at the national level. His card-playing career was highlighted by major tournament victories, including winning the Spingold championship in 1940. He followed this success a few years later by winning the Chicago Mixed Board-a-Match in 1946.
