REGINA – Saskatchewan-based community-owned co-operative Access Communications announced today AccessNow TV will broadcast 18 Regina Pats home games for the 2022-2023 season in partnership with the team and the Western Hockey League.
The broadcasts will feature all six Western Hockey League teams playing in the East Division and “will feature such talents as Ryan McNally, Michael Ball, and Daniella Ponticelli on the play-by-play and colour commentary,” a press release explains. The first game to air will take place Sept. 23 and will see the Regina Pats play the Moose Jaw Warriors.
“We are excited to announce that AccessNow TV will be home to 18 Pats games this season,” said Tracey Mucha, community programming manager at Access Communications, in the release. “We know that fans can’t wait to see what Connor Bedard has in store for his third season, coming fresh off a World Juniors Gold Medal win. Cheering on our local teams brings the community together – and is just another way that Access Communications tells the stories of Saskatchewan.”
“We’re thrilled to begin another season of Pats hockey on AccessNow TV and are thankful for the support we continue to receive from Access Communications,” Regina Pats CEO Gordon Pritchard said. “Access is a huge part of our community here in Regina and has been an excellent partner for both the Pats and the Western Hockey League over the years. We can’t wait to drop the puck on another season of outstanding broadcasts on AccessNow TV.”
“The WHL is pleased to extend our broadcast partnership with Access Communications for the 2022-23 WHL season,” added WHL commissioner Ron Robison. “For many years, Access has delivered outstanding coverage in Saskatchewan. WHL fans can once again enjoy WHL hockey on Access, featuring the hometown Regina Pats.”
