Hershey Bears to rebroadcast 2010 Calder Cup Finals on social media
It’s been a decade since the Hershey Bears miraculous come back in the 2010 Calder Cup Finals, and fans will have the chance to relive those memories. The Hershey Bears have announced they will be re-broadcasting Game Three through Six on their social media pages to commemorate the tenth anniversary of their Calder Cup victory.
Starting on Sunday, June 7, at 7 PM, fans will be able to watch abc27’s broadcasts of the 2010 Calder Cup Finals on the Bears Facebook and YouTube Channels.
“If you talk to anyone in our fan base, what always gets brought up in recent memory is the 2019-10 team and the back to back cups,” said Zack Fisch, current voice of the Bears. “Working closely with Bryan Helmer, Patrick Wellar, and John Walton, I’ve gotten to hear the stories of the magical run to Texas. It was a four-game stretch for the record books.
“Now that it’s the tenth anniversary, what better time to show them again and relive arguably the greatest team in the American Hockey League history.”
All three games in Texas were broadcasted by abc27, with a viewing party hosted at Giant Center for Game Five and Alexandre Giroux’s magical overtime goal. The schedule of the re-broadcasts will follow the same date as the games ten years ago on the Bears YouTube and Facebook pages.
BROADCAST SCHEDULE:
Game 3: Sunday, June 7 at 7 PM EDT
Game 4: Tuesday, June 9 at 7 PM EDT
Game 5: Thursday, June 11 at 7 PM EDT
Game 6: Sunday, June 14 at 7 PM EDT
Calling the games were the former voice of the Bears and current voice of the Capitals, John Walton, and the late abc27 sports director, Gregg Mace.
The Bears have been broadcasting classic games on their Facebook and YouTube pages since the suspension and later cancelation of the 2019-20 season, allowing fans to relive favorite memories.
“With these classic games, we are showing as many as we can, but currently don’t have access to all our archives in Giant Center,” said Fisch. “We partially have an archive for games pre-Giant Center, but some might not exist. When we get back to Giant Center, we’ll be able to share more favorite games for our fans.”
But rest be assured, more favorite Bears games are coming soon. “The most requested game is certainly the 2006 Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 against Portland. The AHL requested to show that so stay tuned. We look forward to sharing more information when that will be re-broadcasted.”
