Steve Manson, the publisher of Western New York Hockey magazine, joins Brenda Celeste as co-host of WNSA’s Saturday afternoon show. Affectionately known as “The Hockey Man”, not only has Manson taken to the radio airwaves, but he has also made regular appearances on Empire Sports Network’s “Fan-TV” since 1996.
His expertise in the game of hockey is well documented. From 1987-95, Manson was the color analyst for the Niagara Falls Thunder of the OHL, serving in that capacity in both radio and television. He held the same position for three years with the OHL’s Erie Otters, before taking his hockey knowledge and broadcast background to the NHL ranks where he served as a pre- and post-game co-host for the Buffalo Sabres on the Sabres Radio Network from 1998-2000. He has served as the co-host on Empire Sports Network for the NHL Draft.
In addition to his affinity for hockey, Manson has also worked with ESPN, Speedvision and Empire Sports Network covering hydroplane racing. He enjoys talking about and viewing all sports and also likes to dabble in discussions concerning politics.
A graduate of Grand Island High School and Indiana University, Manson resides in the area with his wife, Carol, and son, Paul.
