Austin Peay State University Students to Broadcast Govs Hockey Clubs Inaugural Home Games – Clarksville Online [Video]

Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) sports communication students are taking on an exciting new challenge this semester: producing the official live broadcasts for the Govs Hockey Club’s inaugural season.

The APSU Department of Communication kicked off its partnership with the team during its season opener against Eastern Kentucky University. It will continue broadcasting home games from the Ford Ice Center through APSU-TV Clarksville. Their next production will be a doubleheader against UAB on October 18th and 19th.

“It was a new experience for all of us to do hockey, and for some of the students, it was their first time doing any work in live production,” said Barry Gresham, associate professor of sports communication. “I loved seeing how everyone came together, supported one another, and helped out.”

Students from two of Gresham’s classes make up a majority of the production team. For sophomore sports communication major Kasey Yates, the opportunity was a way to combine his passion with his career goals.
