REGINA — Community-owned Access Communications Co-operative announced today its AccessNow TV channel will be the exclusive broadcaster for the Regina Pats hockey team which kicks off its Western Hockey League (WHL) season on Friday, March 12.
AccessNow TV will air live 22 of the Regina Pats’ 24 games this season. Fans can also watch the action live on the AccessNow TV app.
In February, the WHL announced Regina would be the hub city for the WHL’s East Division, with all games taking place at the Regina Pats home arena, the Brandt Centre. AccessNow TV’s broadcasts will showcase all seven of the East Division teams, five of which are based in Saskatchewan. The broadcasts will also feature Rod Pedersen and Darren Dupont providing play-by-play and colour commentary.
“We know that fans can’t wait to cheer on the Pats this season — and with the arrival of Connor Bedard (above), the first WHL player to receive exceptional player status, who can blame them? Bringing hockey fans and the community together — just another way AccessNow TV gives back to Saskatchewan,” said Tracey Mucha, community programming manager at Access Communications, in a press release.
“We’re excited for another season of Pats hockey on AccessNow TV and are thankful for the support we continue to receive from Access Communications, particularly during this unprecedented season. Access has been an excellent partner for both the Pats and the Western Hockey League over the years, and we can’t wait to drop the puck on another season of outstanding broadcasts on AccessNow TV,” said Stacey Cattell, the Regina Pats’ chief operating officer.
