Tonight marks the debut of the Swift Current Broncos new play by play announcer Gino De Paoli as Country 94.1 FM airs their first pre-season game against the Prince Albert Raiders.
This the first of a number of games within the next few weeks as De Paoli explains.
"Saturday against PA in PA. Then a home at home against the defending league champions the Moose Jaw Warriors next Friday and Saturday and then the home opener on September 20th against the Saskatoon Blades. So, lots to happen here."
De Paoli is no stranger to the airwaves and says he's enjoying the new role.
"I am. It's exciting to go to a new organization that has been very welcoming to me so far. Make a phone call to Chad Leslie and the rest is history. So, I am really appreciative of that. It's going to be a little different from where I was before, but you know what? I am hoping the banging on the booth will always be good ones now."
Tonight's game kicks off at 7pm at the InnovationPlex and admission is only a $5 donation to the Salvation Army or a food donation.
If you are unable to make it to the game, both tonight's and Saturday's games will be broadcasted on Country 94.1 FM beginning at 7pm
