North Iowa Outlaws News Release
Mason City (IA) The North Iowa Outlaws are proud to introduce Scott Montesano as the team's new Director of Communications and play-by-play announcer for the 2008-2009 season. A veteran baseball and hockey announcer, Montesano comes to the Outlaws with three years of NAHL experience.
In fact, this announcement reunites new Outlaws' general manager Steve Strasheim and Montesano, both of whom worked with the former Fargo-Moorhead Jets of the NAHL. Montesano spent three-seasons as the play-by-play announcer for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets from 2004-2007 calling two division titles and one National Championship runner-up finish.
With the FM Jets, Montesano also supervised the team's internship program, handled sales, media relations and promotions, each of which are duties he will assist with in North Iowa.
"Scott is a great addition to the Outlaws staff and the fans will love his enthusiasm and energy he brings to the day-to-day operation" said Strasheim.
Montesano is also an accomplished baseball announcer, having spent the past three summers as the play-by-play voice of the Eau Claire (WI) franchise in the Northwoods League, a position he will keep during the Outlaws' off-season.
He spent last winter calling high school sports along with Division III college football, basketball and hockey for Clear Channel Radio in Eau Claire.
A native of Utica, NY, Montesano is a 2004 graduate of Marist College.
Montesano's first day with the Outlaws will be September 1st.
