PRESS RELEASE:

The Protec Jr Ducks are Proud to Announce two new staff members for the 2021-2022 Season. James Fanizzi and Neil Villapiano come to the Ducks with years of broadcasting experience. Both have been working with the Jersey Shore Whalers of the USPHL. Fanizzi has been with the Whalers since their inception to the USPHL in the 2014-2015 season, and Neil has been with the Whalers for the past 4 season. James and Neil also run the successful Bottom-Line Podcast together. Neil also has his own podcast Devils State of Mind Podcast on the Hockey Podcast Network.

Neil said this about accepting the position, “I’m extremely excited to be working with the Protec Junior Ducks. This is an up in coming organization with an incredibly bright future. I’m honored that I get to be a part of it moving forward. I promise to bring as much excitement, enthusiasm and entertainment to each broadcast as possible. Thank you, Stephen Reu and Joe Bucchino, for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to getting to know the team, the coaches and the parents in the coming months. Let’s Go Ducks!”

James had this to say about his new role, “No words can describe how excited I am to be a part of a tremendous organization like the Protec Junior Ducks! They have a tremendous background with tremendous people/players, and I want to thank them for welcoming me with open arms! I can’t wait to get to work!”

We at Protec are extremely excited about the opportunity to work with James and Neil and having them join the Protec Junior Ducks Family!

If you can’t make it out to a Ducks game live to say hello, make sure you give them a listen for all our home games broadcasted on Hockey TV.
