Chicago Wolves News Release
Chicago Wolves Play-By-Play Announcer PAT FOLEY will return for a second season with the team, as the franchise enters its fifth year of televising every game - including all 40 home contests and the playoffs - live on Comcast Cable.
"I really enjoyed my entire experience with the Wolves last year," FOLEY said. "I am looking forward to watching a team that has a shot at bringing the Calder Cup home to Chicago and continuing a relationship with the hockey fans in this great city."
FOLEY made his Wolves debut last season, joining Color Analyst Bill Gardner in the booth for 95 live broadcasts as the team battled into the conference finals for the seventh time in club history.
Prior to joining the Wolves, FOLEY, a graduate of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, called National Hockey League games for the Chicago Blackhawks for 25 years. He made his professional broadcasting debut with the now defunct Grand Rapids Owls of the International Hockey League in 1977.
"We're thrilled to have him back," said Wolves Executive Vice President of Business Operations Adam Fox. "He and Bill Gardner did such a fantastic job together last year on Comcast. We feel proud and fortunate that we are able to put together the finest broadcast team possible for our fans and to represent our organization."
FOLEY received an Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement - Sports Program Live Series" in 1991 and was inducted into the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.
