Scottie Upshall to Work Coyotes-Hawks Game on Radio

From NHL.com:

Upshall will serve as the radio color analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Bob Heethuis during the broadcast of the Coyotes-Chicago Blackhawks game on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on KFYI-AM radio.

“We are very excited to hear Scottie offer his insights and opinions during Saturday’s radio broadcast,” President and Chief Operating Officer Douglas Moss said in a statement on Friday. “Scottie has an energetic and outgoing personality to go along with his tremendous knowledge of the game that is sure to come through on the broadcast.”

Give him a listen, and report back in the comments.  Game’s at 9.  Should be fun.
