The Hershey Bears are gearing up to defend their Calder Cup title, and fans will be able to catch all the action on Monumental Sports Network and WPMT FOX43. The partnership between the two networks will bring live coverage of the Bears’ playoff games during the 2024 Calder Cup Playoffs.
The broadcast schedule will include all games during the team’s Atlantic Division semifinals series against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, starting on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 PM ET. The Bears are looking to secure their second consecutive championship after defeating the Coachella Valley Firebirds in last year’s Calder Cup Finals.
“We are thrilled to bring back our partnership with Hershey so fans in the DMV region can watch the Bears try to defend their title,” said Caitlin Mangum, Vice President of Content & Programming at Monumental Sports Network.
The broadcast partnership will provide access to the Calder Cup playoffs for over three million subscribers in Monumental Sports Network’s coverage area, spanning from Delaware to Richmond, VA. The Voice of the Bears, Zack Fisch, will be calling the action alongside analysis from AHL Hall of Famer Mitch Lamoureux, former Hershey Bear Garrett Mitchell, and FOX43 Sports Director Todd Sadowski.
Fans can catch the games on linear TV, Monumental’s digital streaming platform, or by purchasing a direct-to-consumer subscription. With Monumental Sports Network’s extensive coverage of local sports, hockey fans are in for an action-packed spring and summer.
