Play-by-Play Broadcaster- Wisconsin Windigo
February 2023-Present
Serve as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Wisconsin Windigo of the NAHL hockey league. Duties on the broadcast include pre game show, intermission show, and post game show. Host & Creator of the Wisconsin Windigo Weekly, a once a week episode series where I cover the upcoming series, show highlights from the previous series, and discuss all things Windigo. Design all gameday graphics such for goals, intermissions, and more.
Internship- Chicago Steel Hockey Team
November 2022-Feburary 2023
Served as a gameday intern for the Chicago Steel before heading off to be the broadcaster for the Wisconsin Windigo. Attended every home game, and always made sure to provide Chicago Steel fans with a great gameday experience. Duties included helping run promotional gameday events, selling merchandise, selling chuck-a-pucks, cleaning up the arena after a game. Outside of what was asked of me I liked to get to know the fans better so they felt like their gameday experience as top notch so I would discuss hockey with them, and this lead to converting fans into wanting to sign up for season tickets, I always made it a goal to try and send one person per game to the ticketing department to discuss more about becoming a season ticket holder and all the benefits it entails.
