Dallas Stars hire Jeff Kovarsky as PA announcer

The Stars announced Friday that Jeff Kovarsky has been hired as the team's public address announcer for the upcoming season. 

From the team's website: 

Kovarsky will handle all in-arena announcements at American Airlines Center for each of the club’s home games. 

No stranger to the Stars’ organization, Kovarsky has worked several capacities for the team since 2005, first as music director, and most recently as an in-arena host. He will be the club’s third public address announcer since the Stars moved to Texas in 1993. 

"I am honored and privileged to continue my career with the Stars and would like to thank Mr. Gaglardi and Mr. Lites for this opportunity,” said Kovarsky. “I look forward to serving the team and fans with the same passion, excitement, and professionalism established by my longtime friend and mentor, Bill Oellermann.” 

Aside from his duties with the Stars, Kovarsky, better known as “Jeff K,” is a well-known radio personality in the DFW Metroplex. He can be heard weekends on KDGE 102.1 "The Edge."
