Rapid City Rush News Release


The Rapid City Rush is proud to announce the addition of former Bowling Green State University broadcaster Daniel Nieves to its organization. Nieves, 23, will serve as Media Relations Director as well as handle play-by-play duties for the expansion Rush.

The Tavernier, FL resident spent four seasons as color commentator for the BGSU Falcons of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. During his time as color commentator, Nieves was named "Hockey Broadcaster of the Year" by the Bowling Green Radio Sports Organization three consecutive years. Nieves was then named as the Falcons play-by-play broadcaster for the 2007-2008 season and covered all 39 regular season and playoff contests.

Along with his play-by-play duties, Nieves also hosted "In the Box" a weekly radio call-in show that covered Falcon hockey, CCHA, and NHL. The show featured guest players and coaches in-studio each week, and in only its second year "In the Box" was named "Show of the Year" by BGRSO. Nieves experience behind the microphone also includes numerous BGSU men's and women's basketball and baseball games. Nieves is a graduate of Bowling Green State University with a major in telecommunications.

The Rush begins their season on the road until Rushmore Plaza Civic Center's Ice Arena is completed in December. All 64 Rapid City Rush home and away games can be heard on The Fox 100.3 FM.
