When the Oshawa FireWolves begin play this season in the National Lacrosse League, the broadcast will have a very Peterborough feel.
The team unveiled their broadcast crew for home games on Tuesday, and it will feature Scott Arnold, morning news anchor and reporter for Oldies 96.7 and FREQ 90.5, and Dan Malta of YourTV Peterborough. Malta will be handling play-by-play duties and Arnold providing colour commentary. The broadcasts will stream on TSN+, ESPN+ and NLL+.
“An NLL team moving to Oshawa is exciting enough but having the opportunity to call games in the community I grew up in for a team in the NLL is an honour and something I don’t take lightly,” Malta said. “I’ve been working alongside Scott Arnold for a decade now and his dedication to lacrosse is unmatched.”
Arnold, a Peterborough native and lifelong lacrosse player-turned-broadcaster, called the appointment a milestone in his career. “Joining the Oshawa FireWolves broadcast team is a dream come true for me,” he said. “Having one of the best in the business, Dan Malta, calling the games with me makes it even more special. I think Oshawa is the perfect spot to help catapult the game to another level.”
The FireWolves open their inaugural season in Oshawa on November 28th at 7:30 p.m. when they host their home opener at the Tribute Communities Centre.
