Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
This will make some people happy. According to JVs twitter he will be on the PA mic tonight subbing for Yorke.
Interesting to hear what those in attendance think.

Saw him doing PA at women's games last year. Much better. I wonder if he might be doing it more for men's games in the future.bigappleram wrote: ↑7 months ago This will make some people happy. According to JVs twitter he will be on the PA mic tonight subbing for Yorke.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
I'm hoping for player introductions a la the early 2000's Detroit Piston's PA announcer.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
Shout out JV. Great job, didn’t make it about him, knew players names, added excitement when called for, didn’t talk over the action.
Please make it permanent.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
I thought JV was great. Effective, but unobtrusive...nicely done. Only weird part was, he still announced all of the on the floor contests.
Am used to seeing him on the floor for those, it was almost like he was doing them while WFH....

Knowing how to pronounce the players names is extra hard for all the "professionals" surrounding our program. Kudos to JV!

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
Agreed! Had a couple of York-ish moments (a little much on a player's name one time and the 1 minute left announcement; it'd not hockey and Yorke should never have started doing that in my opinion), but better than I could do and MUCH BETTER than Yorke! Give that man the job!

Yorke was back to his obnoxious ways tonight. Tyson Brown even had an assist from the bench, at least according to Dan.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
On the annoyance scale from 1-10, with 10 being most games last year, I'd say he kept it under a 5... He's much less of an issue when there's stuff to actually watch.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
Yeah I’m sorry but this is all true.
He’s embarrassing.
He’s distracting.
He’s diminishing the in-game experience.
He’s failing to work on his craft.
It must end.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
I have never been shy to express my feelings about our PA announcer. Unfortunately I had to listen
to the game on the Varsity Ap, as we were returning from out of state for Thanksgiving.
GOOD LORD, it’s even worse when listening to the game. I could hear Dan’s incessant screeching and prolonging of players names. It’s worse than being in person at the Ryan.
I know that because his head is so far up the Governors ass that we won’t have a change, but GOOD LORD my ears are bleeding!

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
I know we say it a lot on here - but this was the first time I really heard non-board members and people outside of the usual suspects bemoaning some of Yorke’s calls.
Like…this doesn’t happen anywhere else. The PA guy isn’t the show. Do any other fanbases even know who their PA guy is? Or even have an opinion at all!?

Anyone at Mohegan hear the PA Announcer there? I did, he was professional, even toned, informative. He didn’t think he was part of the show.

Re: Dan Yorke Has To Go
Tonight was THE WORST I have ever heard him. He crucified the names of some of the players in such a childish way it sucked the joy out of each one of those moments. It turned what should've been pure joy into a pure cringe and then frustration over the fact that we can not seem to resolve this issue. He needs to be shit canned immediately. He's such an embarrassment!

For something that egregious it's crazy how no one has been like "Hey Dan, can you please just tone it down". Bad or not it's very bizarre that it's allowed...but then again that's very URI.

Yes, hope so. In a bizzaro world, I am beginning to think someone along the line in decision making and evaluation mode actually like what Yorke does.
