Sherry Skalko, a sportswriter who has covered college hockey for the last nine seasons, has been named director of communications for the CCHA, the league announced today.<\/p>\n
Skalko, 28, a native of Cranston, R.I., will officially take the post Sept. 10, replacing Jeff Weiss, who departed to become hockey sports information director for CCHA member Bowling Green.<\/p>\n
“During my experience as a member of the media, I’ve always viewed the CCHA as a leader in college hockey. I look forward to working with [CCHA commissioner] Tom [Anastos] and the league members to ensure that tradition continues,” Skalko said.<\/p>\n
Skalko, a 1991 graduate of Boston University’s school of journalism, has been a hockey writer and copy editor for the Providence Journal since 1993, during which time she has covered college hockey as well as several professional teams, including the NHL’s Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n
Last season, Skalko served on the selection committees for both the Hobey Baker and Patty Kazmaier awards, and is also a member of the editorial advisory board for American Hockey Magazine. Before coming to the Journal, Skalko was a communications assistant for Providence.<\/p>\n
Said Anastos, “Sherry brings energy, progressive thinking and the passion for the game that will allow her to be a major contributor to the conference. Her background and experience make her a perfect fit for this position.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
