Weber Doniger Wolf Kelly

CAPITALS' RADIO-TV ANNOUNCERS AND SCHEDULE

The Capitals will be heard and seen on WTOP and WTOP-TV this season as theShared by @HockeyMagazines
Post-Newsweek stations and Washington's newest sports team begin a three year
agreement.

WTOP/Radio 15 will broadcast all 80 regular season games with Ron Weber
calling the play-by-play and Jack Doniger providing the color commentary.

Weber did the play-by-play of the Baltimore Clippers from 1970-72 and has
called the action of basketball (Bullets, '76ers) football (University of Pennsyl-
vania, Morgan State), golf, tennis, baseball, lacrosse, and soccer. In addition, he
covered the Mexico Olympics.

Weber has been the voice on the Mutual Network's Wide Weekend of Sports
for the past year. Prior to that he served as sports director of WCAU in
Philadelphia, WFBR in Baltimore, and WBOC, WBOC-TV in Salisbury, Maryland.

Joining Weber in the radio booth is Jack Doniger, a news broadcaster with
WTOP since 1969 and a hockey buff since he saw his first game in the old
Madison Square Garden in 1938-New York Americans vs. Montreal Canadiens.

Doniger has been the anchor man of WTOP's coverage of the Washington
Redskins, the Baltimore Colts, local collegiate basketball.and the World Series.

WTOP-TV will carry 15 Capitals' road games with doing the play-by-play and
Warner Wolf analyzing the action.

Veteran hockey broadcaster Hal Kelly will call the play-by-play for the
television games. Kelly has done radio and television broadcasts of New York
Islander, Minnesota North Star, and St. Louis Blues games in the past. In addition,
he has done radio broadcasts of National Hockey League all-star games. His
brother, Dan, does radio-television broadcasting for St. Louis.

Warner Wolf has been with WTOP since 1965 and serves as sports director of
both radio and television. He was named the outstanding broadcaster in the
District of Columbia in 1973 and a recent poll found him to be the No. 1 sports
personality in the District.

A native of Washington, Wolf worked in Pikeville, Kentucky, Martinsburg,
West Virginia, and Silver Spring before coming to WTOP.

He does the Redskin Kickoff Show and has the highly rated Warner Wolf
Show on Monday nights during the football season.

1974-75 RULE CHANGES

T IME-SAVING:
In an effort to shorten the time required to play a game, the following
rules changes have been made : (1) when a substitute goalkeeper enters
th e game, no warm-up is permitted, (2) if a delay occurs during line
changes, the referee may order the teams to take their positions
immediately or not allow the line change, (3) if repair is needed to a
goalkeeper' s equipment, he retires from the ice and a substitute is made
immediately, (4) a goalkeeper may not go to the bench to replace a
broken stick. A teammate must bring the new stick to him.

EQUIPMENT:
Goalkeepers' sticks are limited in size . Widened portion of shaft may be
no longer than 26 inches from heel and may be no wider than 3 and
one half inches.

M ISCONDUCT, MATCH AND MAJOR PENALTIES :
Th e first player who intervenes in a fight receives a game misconduct
penalty. Any player wearing tape or other protective material on his
hand who cuts or injures an opponent during an altercation, receives a
match penalty . Match penalties are also given for "head-butting" during
an altercation.
Spearing and butt-ending are upgraded to major penalties.

PENALTY SHOTS:
Penalty shots are awarded if a player is interfered with by a stick or
other object thrown by an opponent after he has crossed the center line
and has no opponent to beat but the goalkeeper. Penalty shots are still
awarded for tripping and/or grabbing in similar circumstances .

A press lounge and working area is located on the concourse level at

The press room and lounge are an extension of the press box and , as
such, are a working area and open only to members of the media and
Capitals' staff.

Credential numbers do not apply to seat numbers in the press box.
Each seat will be labeled by publication or station.
