Stars On "The Iowa Sportsman" - Tonight
There are plenty of reasons to be an Iowa Stars Hockey Fan...and tonight on the other radio show I do, The Iowa Sportsman we'll talk hockey! (This was simply an excuse for me to use this photo of some friends at a game!)
The Iowa Sportsman Radio Hour is heard each Monday evening at 7 only on 98.3 WOW-FM here in the Des Moines Market. If you want to listen from wherever you might live or work you can always listen live using your PC.
The Iowa Sportsmans Radio Hour is the broadcast version of The Iowa Sportsman Magazine and something I've been doing for our client for about 15 months. I'm usually joined by my co-host Thomas Allen...but Thomas is out tonight. So....I get to choose the topic:
Iowa Stars Hockey! And before you scratch your head and wonder what the heck that has to do with hunting, fishing, cross country skiing, or noodling. (Someday we'll have to talk about that!) The answer is pretty simple: It's all Iowa...and it's a great, tough, fast moving sport that many Iowa kids learn about on lakes and ponds (when they are not ice fishing!).
Our guest tonight is the Assistant Coach of the Iowa Stars, Paul 
Jerrard. Paul skated with the New York Rangers and the Minnesota North Stars of the NHL and was a member of the AHL Calder Cup Winning Hershey Bears in 1997. Coach Jerrard is a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba and was hired as the assistant coach of the Iowa Stars in June of 2005.
We'll spend most of the hour with Coach Jerrard and you're invited to take part.

Just heard the stars are headed to Texas. Im tired of teams coming in and leaving... then coming back . (ala Barnstormers)
I wasn't sure DSM would be able to handle the Bucs and the Stars, and this kind of proves it. Kind of sad.

Hi Troy: Yes it is too bad. However Des Moines will continue to be home for another AHL team. Insider stories tell us it may be the Minnesota Wild farm club???? We'll see. Thanks for reading and for the comment. MPL
