iHeartMedia Phoenix signs a broadcast agreement with Arizona State University (ASU) to air men's hockey games, effective October 11. ASU fans can listen to all home games, select road games and a weekly coach's show featuring head coach Greg Powers on KGME-AM (Fox Sports 910). This new agreement allows Arizona State University fans to hear the play-by-play action of men's hockey both within the Phoenix region and nationwide on iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio app.

"Our partnership with iHeartMedia Phoenix leads Sun Devil Hockey into its next and long-awaited venture of bringing play-by-play broadcasts to supporters and fans in the local community and around the country," said Sun Devil Athletics Chief Financial Officer and Ice Hockey Sport Administrator Frank Ferrara. "We're proud to deliver another avenue for fans to engage and access our team through the broadcast of all home games, select road games and the weekly coach's show."

"Fox Sports 910 and iHeartMedia Phoenix are proud to partner with Arizona State University as they launch their inaugural radio broadcast for Hockey play-by-play," said iHeartMedia Phoenix Market President Linda Little. "We look forward to bringing ASU Hockey to fans throughout Phoenix on Fox Sports 910 and nationwide on the iHeartRadio app."

Sun Devil for Life Tyler Paley returns to his roots as the first-ever play-by-play voice of Sun Devil Hockey Radio. A three-time ASU grad, Paley covered the ASU men's ice hockey team during his tenure at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication from 2014-18. His experience spans various communications roles including multimedia journalist, anchor and reporter, social media strategist, commentator for Pac-12 Network and freelancer for CBS, FOX Sports and ESPN.

The first game broadcast of the partnership will be ASU's home opener versus Colgate on Friday, October 14 at 6:30pm MST.
