MISSOULA, MONT. - The Missoula Osprey announced today the addition of veteran broadcaster Kyle Cooper as the new Voice of the Osprey. Cooper will also fill the role of media relations assistant. Cooper comes to the Osprey after five seasons with the Princeton (W.V.) Rays of the Appalachian League, the Rookie-level affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. During his time with the Rays, "Coop", as he is known to his listeners, simultaneously served as the Sports Information Director at Concord University (W.V.) and was the Mountain Lions' play-by-play voice for football, basketball and baseball. Cooper was also a member of the West Virginia Tournament Network's coverage of the conference's basketball and baseball playoffs.
Cooper will call every Osprey game, home and away this season on the O's new radio nest, ESPN Montana 97.5 FM and online at MissoulaOsprey.com. He'll also contribute to the Osprey's official website and their blog, "Bird Droppings" as well as serving as a contact for the media.
Ben Catley, the "Voice of the Osprey" from 2007-2012, left the club this spring for bigger opportunities in radio.
"We are excited to have a broadcaster with the professional pedigree of Kyle Cooper to call Osprey baseball," said Osprey Vice President/General Manager Jeff Griffin. "While Ben will be missed, Kyle is a quality individual and I look forward to him bringing his own flare to Osprey baseball this summer."
