2025-26 Hockey Reel

This is my master reel from the 2025–26 hockey season, a year in which I took another significant step forward in my development as a play-by-play broadcaster. From calling the historic Beaver Stadium Outdoor Game to the NCAA Women's Hockey Regional Final on ESPN+, it was a season I will never forget.

This reel features a collection of my top television and radio highlights, along with uncut play-by-play segments from both TV and radio broadcasts, showcasing my preparation and storytelling.

Internship Reels

Over the last two years, I have had the ability to broadcast for two amazing summer ball teams, The Amsterdam Mohawks (2025) and the Charlottesville Tom Sox (2026). I am extremely proud to share my reel for both season in which I had immense growth and learned what it is like to work under team control. While hockey is my number one passion, I take great pride in broadcasting the sport I first fell in love with, baseball.
