TAKING THE FANS ON AN ENTERTAINMENT JOURNEY EACH GAME:
Her journey into broadcast, production and entertainment began in high school and drove her path through college where she worked with mentors who helped her learn and grow, ultimately landing an internship in baseball and merging her love of sports with production.

Throughout her time, Annie found the greatest joy in the creativity of designing shows that all fans could enjoy. Theme nights, contests, interactive elements and show flow created a fan journey that brough the experience beyond the game to life and helped make lasting memories for those in the audience.

Tapping into pop-culture and cult favorites allows the games to be fun and different year-over-year. A huge fan of Disney and Star Wars, she frequents the Magic Kingdom and looks forward to Star Wars day at sporting venues. “With the new storylines, the theme days are unique and evolving.”

Fun is her job. She finds genuine joy in innovating entertainment for the fans, keeping it fresh, interesting and relevant and no matter the level on the ice, the experience is always premier.

BEYOND THE EVENTS:
Her passion for experiences doesn’t stop with her job, an avid traveler, Annie and her husband love exploring the world, most recently visiting Ecuador (the literal center of the world), the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands.

A lifelong hockey fan, she grew up watching the game and when she got to high school, got into broadcast because during morning announcements they kept mispronouncing the hockey players’ names and she knew she could do a better job-launching her career int he industry.
