Steve Wilson, announcer for the Weyburn Red Wings and broadcaster from AM 1190, Magic 103.5 and K106, has been nominated for the FASTHockey Broadcaster Battle. This online contest is a fan vote to determine the broadcaster of the year across North America.
Wilson said that people are encouraged to vote on the “best hockey play-by-play announcer.” Among all the contestants in the first round, there are only three who announce at Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League — Wilson, and announcers from Estevan and Melfort.
From the first round of voting, contestants will be narrowed down to the top 16. As of Wednesday morning, Steve Wilson was ranked 23rd.
The first round polls close Saturday, February 13 at 12 p.m. EST.
After the first round, the contest will be broken into elimination brackets to determine the final winner.
