NEW YORK, N.Y. – SIRIUS Satellite Radio and the National Lacrosse League announced on March 7 that New York Titans star forward and former Syracuse lacrosse standout Casey Powell will host a weekly lacrosse talk show exclusively on SIRIUS.
Inside The National Lacrosse League with Casey Powell will debut Saturday, March 10 at 9:00 pm ET on SIRIUS channel 114, leading into SIRIUS' play-by-play coverage of the NLL All-Star Game at 10:00 pm ET. The weekly one-hour show, which will feature highlights, news and analysis, will air prior to SIRIUS' NLL "Game of the Week" coverage and will be broadcast exclusively on SIRIUS in both the U.S. and in Canada.
"I am extremely excited to work with SIRIUS Satellite Radio. It's a great opportunity to represent the players of the NLL through this unique forum," said Powell. "This partnership between NLL and SIRIUS is a huge step for lacrosse and I look forward to giving lacrosse fans and players across North America the inside scoop throughout the season."
Casey Powell is in his fifth National Lacrosse League season and currently plays for the New York Titans. A three-time All-American and two-time NCAA Most Outstanding Player at Syracuse University, Powell was the first overall draft pick in the 1998 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft, taken by the Rochester Knighthawks. The Titans team captain was recently selected as an Eastern Division All-Star and will play at the 2007 NLL All-Star Game on March 10th at Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. The 2007 All-Star selection is the third such honor of his NLL career.
The show is co-hosted by Doug Fritts, the National Lacrosse League's VP of Communications and a 1997 graduate of Syracuse University.
