By Killer Bee Hockey | January 3, 2008

Hidalgo, Texas — The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the Central Hockey League today announced that Rich Bocchini, the team’s radio and TV play-by-play voice, has been selected to be part of the 2008 CHL All Star Game as color analyst on the radio broadcast along with Brian Clark of the host Rocky Mountain Rage. The game will be played Wednesday, January 16 in Broomfield, Colo.; puck-drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (MST). 

The radio broadcast of the All-Star game will originate from the Rage’s flagship station, the NEW ESPN Radio 1600, be available in several CHL markets and will stream LIVE through the Rage’s website (www.rockymountainrage.com). In addition to his color analyst duties, Bocchini is scheduled to interview the MVP’s of the game for both the radio and CHL Network broadcasts.

The Pawtucket, R.I., native and Rhode Island College graduate is currently in his third season of calling Killer Bees hockey on KURV 710 Talk Radio and ESPN Radio 1240 AM as well as on XERV-9 Televisa (cable 19) telecasts.   

The game will also be carried live on a special feed over the CHL Network. The voice of the Colorado Eagles, Tori Holt, has been chosen to do play-by-play of the CHL All-Star game.  Joining Holt as color analyst will be the Arizona Sundogs’ Robby Incmikoski. The CHL Network is the online broadcasting service, provided jointly by the CHL and NFT.  CHL games are available for viewing, every night of the season, using the CHL Network Online Player, all at no cost to the end user.  For more information, and to download the player, visit www.centralhockeyleague.com.

The All-Star broadcast on the CHL Network will feature many extra interviews and segments as the entire broadcast will air live from the Broomfield Event Center with no interruptions.  In addition, a special All-Star Preview Show featuring Rocky Mountain broadcaster Brian Clark and Head Coach Tracy Egeland will premiere on Friday, January 4th via the CHL Channel on the CHL Network.  The show can be seen at 6:00 PM (CST) and will be re-broadcast during intermissions of various CHL games throughout this weekend. 

Also, the CHL along with NFT have announced a viewer contest that will run from January 4th through the games of January 13th.  Any fan that is logged onto the CHL Network watching any CHL game between the 4th and 13th will be automatically entered into the contest.  Those entered will be randomly chosen with the winners announced during the intermissions of the All-Star Broadcast on the CHL Network (January 16th).  The grand prize is a Northern and Southern Conference team autographed All-Star Jersey with additional prizes including other All-Star merchandise.
