Golden Gopher Radio Network presented by AlarmForce

The University of Minnesota Department of Athletics, in conjunction with multimedia rights holder Gopher Sports Properties, announced a three-year radio broadcast agreement with Hubbard Broadcasting in March of 2011.

Golden Gopher hockey game broadcasts can be heard live on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities, along with affiliates on the Gopher Radio Network. Three games will be heard on Praise FM-95.3 due to conflicts with Gopher men's basketball. Free online audio will be available for all games via Gophersports.com and the 1500 ESPN mobile app.

(Praise FM-95.3 will broadcast Nov. 11 vs. Wisconsin, Jan. 28 at St. Cloud State and Feb. 18 against Bemidji State. The Feb. 25 Nebraska-Omaha game is TBA)

The radio broadcast booth this year will feature Frank Mazzocco and Wally Shaver. Mazzocco will serve as an analyst, while Shaver will handle the play-by-play duties. Mazzocco and Shaver will call every game during the 2011-12 season on the Gopher Radio Network. Former Gopher Pat Micheletti will also join the broadcast team for a select number of games this season and will give fans a unique perspective reporting from ice level.

Gopher Sports Properties is a property of Learfield Sports, which manages rights for more than 50 collegiate institutions, associations and conferences including seven Big Ten Conference member institutions - Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin. Aside from the campus-level rights relationships Learfield Sports has with these schools, the company also manages the Big Ten Conference's sponsorship rights and develops its corporate partnerships.
