Jul. 22—GRAND FORKS — Tim Hennessy isn't a full-time employee at UND anymore, but the longtime hockey radio play-by-play man could still call games next season under a new structure.
UND notified Hennessy on July 8 that it is eliminating his full-time position within the athletic department and indicated that the men's hockey radio play-by-play position will be structured underneath Fighting Hawks Sports Partnerships.
Most of UND's radio play-by-play announcers are currently paid by Fighting Hawks Sports Partnerships on a game-by-game basis, including Jack Michaels (football and women's basketball play-by-play), Darrin Looker (UND hockey road play-by-play or ******* yst), Mike LaMoine (UND hockey ******* yst) and Mike Berg (UND football ******* yst).
Men's basketball play-by-play announcer Paul Ralston, who serves as UND's ******* istant athletic director for broadcast properties, is paid by the school. Ralston is Hennessy's supervisor.
Hennessy said he met with UND athletic director Bill Chaves and Ralston two weeks ago.
