Press Release

(June 30, 2010) The Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League are proud to announce that Director of Media Relations and Broadcasting Bryan Benway gave the commencement speech to the AuSable Valley High School class of 2010 this past Saturday (June 26th) in upstate New York.

Benway, a Jay, NY native and STAA client, is a 2001 graduate of AuSable Valley.

“We are very proud that Bryan was chosen to give the commencement speech at his alma mater this year,” said Bucks President/General Manager and Head Coach Terry Ruskowski. “I heard parts of the speech before he gave it and I thought it was very well written and had lots of good points in it. Bryan has always represented the Bucks organization very well.”

“It was a great honor to get to speak at my high school’s graduation this year,” Benway said. “I’ve always wanted to speak at a commencement ceremony, and because it was in my hometown it made it that much more special for me. I made sure to mention how the City of Laredo has been a great place for me to live for the past three years.”

The 27-year-old Benway recently completed his third season as "voice of the Bucks" during the 2009-10 season. In January of 2010 Benway was selected as the television play-by-play broadcaster for the CHL All-Star game on the America One Network which reached nearly 10 million homes nationwide, including New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Benway was a finalist for the 2008-09 CHL Communications Executive of the Year.
