Texas Hockey Hour to host Trio of Coaches

Sept. 23, 2007 - PRLog -- The Texas Hockey Hour continues to be a pioneer in the coverage of hockey as proven by the latest line-up of guests. On Monday, September 24, The Texas Hockey Hour will host interview segments with Dan Wildfong of the Texas Brahmas, Brent Hughes of the Austin Ice Bats and Terry Ruskowski of the Laredo Bucks.

"This show will be a lot of fun," said host Stephanie Hastings. "At the same time, however, we are able to show the great amount of hockey in the state of Texas by visiting with each of these coaches. They each bring a different dynamic to the table and it will make for an interesting and informative hour of radio."

Wildfong is in his first year as a coach for the Texas Brahmas, a team that is now back in playing form after a year off of the ice. The Austin Ice Bats have new controversy to discuss and Ruskowski, of the Laredo Bucks, has an outstanding record and championship wins backing this season's return.

"When you think about the location and sociology in each of these cities and how they all host a hockey team, I think it is an amazing truth," said Ms. Hastings. "Think about this: a state with no natural ice is the home to the most professional teams in the country. That is something that we should all be very proud of.  I am excited that we get to showcase this week after week on the show. After all, even hockey is bigger in Texas."

The Texas Hockey Hour is a weekly radio broadcast on The Sports Fan 990 AM, based in Dallas, Texas.
