Broadcasting career

In 2006, Jaffe replaced Joe Micheletti, who moved on to the New York Rangers booth, as New York Islanders color analyst alongside Howie Rose. He works for NHL on Versus as an analyst and reporter during regular season and playoff broadcasts.[3]
He worked on Versus for 5 years, building a strong reputation around the NHL and with fans, adding work with VERSUS.
Jaffe joined NESN for the 2010-11 Bruins season, working select games as an in-studio analyst on a part-time basis. For the 2013-14 season, Jaffe relocated to Boston and is slated to work at least 50 Bruins games for the network.[4] Jaffe currently is working as a studio analyst, appearing across NHL Network programming.
