Dan Miner -- Public Address Announcer For The Adirondack Thunder (Episode 6)
Dan is the man and he is most definitely the definition of the man in the arena! He is the official voice of the Adirondack Thunder and if you've ever been to a hockey game at Cool Insuring Arena, you know that this dude is responsible for sending pure electricity through your body any time something happens on the ice. Join Billy and his announcing partner in crime, Dan Miner, for an absolutely exceptional episode of Billy GOATS In The Arena!
Dan Miner has been a staple in Glens Falls, New York for 40 plus years working as a radio host, public address announcer and overall positive influence on the community. The Troy, New York native dreamed of becoming a radio broadcaster when he was just 7 years old and from that moment on, he did everything in his power to turn that fantasy into a reality. Since he was so heavily involved in learning the craft as a youngster, he pretty much became a professional right off the rip when he was a teenager... and the rest is history!
Pretty much everyone in Upstate New York knows who Dan Miner is, but this conversation will really allow you to truly understand what makes him the icon that he is today. Dan details how he got started in radio, the struggles he went through, the opportunities he's had, his mindset, his involvement with Adirondack hockey, and much more! Dan is an individual who does everything for the right reasons. He genuinely cares about his community and that's why he's never wanted to work anywhere else. He's turned down some big offers during the course of his career because the intimate impact he has on the people of the Adirondacks is his top priority.
You can catch Dan Miner on the mic every weekday morning on HITS 95.9 and every home Thunder game at Cool Insuring Arena! A true GOAT and a true legend we all know and love. He's a timeless classic and if you ask him, he's still just getting started.
