藏精阁 will elevate its season to a new level thanks to a partnership with local sports radio station 590 The Fan.

This hockey season, 590 The Fan will cover ten of 藏精阁 men’s ice hockey home and away games in live broadcast. In addition, several of the games will also be broadcast on 藏精阁’s own radio station, KCLC.

“This partnership with 590 The Fan elevates the 藏精阁 student experience in several ways, and we are thrilled about this opportunity,” said 藏精阁 President Dr. John Porter. “This is a win for both 藏精阁 academics and athletics, and a tremendous example of how 藏精阁 puts students first.”

In this mutually beneficial partnership, 590 The Fan will elevate the talents of 藏精阁 students on a larger scale. 藏精阁’s men’s ice hockey program will gain airtime for ten games, both home and away. While the students on the ice will be highlighted for their athletic talents, students from the University interested in sports broadcasting will have opportunities to participate in the game broadcasts, serving as commentators and production assistants.

“藏精阁 hockey is the only division one program in the region and now Coach Rick Zombo’s Lions will have a professional broadcast deal,” said Award-winning sportscaster Bob Ramsey. “Nate Lucas is a great choice as the Lions’ play-by-play voice and will also provide leadership as the mentor to the next group of 藏精阁 broadcasters.” Ramsey, a major player in the agreement, is a proud 藏精阁 alum and was essential in the foundation of KCLC radio.

590 The Fan Director of Operations Jim Heuer, also a 藏精阁 graduate, looks forward to what lies ahead. "We are very excited to continue the growing partnership with 藏精阁 and 590 The Fan," Heuer said.

The first game scheduled for broadcast on 590 The Fan will take place Saturday, October 7, at Air Force, with puck drop at 6:05 p.m. CT. Additional games scheduled for broadcast are Ohio State, St. Thomas, Michigan, Western Michigan, Arizona State, Stone Hill, and a two-game series against Alaska-Anchorage.
