Rennison broadcast the first CHL game at Landon Arena, a 7-3 ScareCrows loss to Wichita. Actually, Rennison did not broadcast the entire game. The power at the radio station in Wichita was knocked off the air after the first period, but Rennison did not know it until the final period. Rennison brings a ton of experience to the microphone. He was the voice of the Kansas City Attack of the Indoor Soccer League for two years, has broadcast high school and college football, college basketball and amateur baseball.
Hockey is the easiest sport to call.
Watching a game is like reading a script. You see one person pass a puck to another and tell about it. In his first game with Wichita, Rennison had ample opportunity to come up with his own style to call a goal. Then there was the time Rennison was doing an indoor soccer game at the Kiel Center in St. Louis. Between periods, he put on a tape interview and walked down a level to a concession stand.
