Black Hawks Have New Voice
Tim Harwood Joins Team As Play-By-Play Announcer
 The Waterloo Black Hawks have announced that Tim Harwood will be their play-by-play announcer for the 2005-2006 season. Harwood comes to the Black Hawks from the broadcast booth of the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League, where he spent the summer calling baseball games.
“Hockey and baseball are a lot different, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. I like the city and the organization so I’m happy to be staying in Waterloo,” said Harwood.
Before joining the Black Hawks and Bucks, Harwood worked in Central Iowa for radio stations KKRF and KGRA, covering high school sports. His news coverage won awards from the Iowa Broadcast News Association and the multi-state Northwest Broadcast News Association.
A graduate of Valparaiso University, Harwood was a student broadcaster at WVUR.
Tim is originally from West Chicago, IL and is a die hard Chicago Black Hawks fan. In the summer of 2004, he married Laura Gilbert, a middle school teacher in Boone, IA.
Fans will get their first chance to here him broadcast Black Hawks hockey on September 24th, when the Hawks travel to Green Bay, WI to take on the Gamblers. The team’s home opener is October 1st against the Indiana Ice. Tickets for all the regular season games will go on sale Tuesday, September 27th.

The Waterloo Black Hawks and CN Railroad of North America, are partnering up to support a community ticket initiative for local charitable groups and community organizations.
This program provides tickets to non-profit groups in particular local areas where CN has a significant number of employees and customers. CN has contributed money to purchase tickets which then will be distributed to local non-profit organizations by the Black Hawks.
At each game an announcement over the Public Address system will welcome the group and will mention they are attending the game courtesy of CN.
The Black Hawks ask any local charities or non-profit organizations whom are interested in obtaining tickets to a home game to call the front office at (319) 232-3444.
