Today the Wausau Woodchucks have announced their new broadcasters for the upcoming 2024 season. Liam Statz and Chase Kmosena will team up to call Wausau Woodchucks games next season.

Statz is a junior majoring in Media Studies with a minor in history and psychology at UW-Stevens Point. He is from Portage, Wisconsin, where he was involved in his high school’s Video Production club. He has been involved with sports broadcasting since his freshman year of college. He routinely broadcasts hockey for the UWSP Pointer hockey team, as well as basketball, football, and volleyball. 

He is a cohost on the SportsPoint, a weekly YouTube show, where he covers Campus Sports and other happenings from the sports world. He also makes regular appearances on the Fastbreak weekly radio show, where he covers much of Pointer sports teams as well.

“I am incredibly excited to work for the Woodchucks organization, a team that continuously delivers the best broadcast possible every season. It’s been a dream of mine to be able to broadcast sports professionally, and this opportunity will help me to realize that dream.”

Kmosena is a Wausau native and grew up a Woodchucks fan. Currently, he is a junior studying Communications at Luther College in Decorah Iowa. He is a member of the wrestling team and works for the sports information team broadcasting home games for a variety of sports. He is a returning Woodchuck, as he was video production intern during the 2023.

“I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be one of the broadcasters for the Woodchucks this upcoming season. Coming from Wausau I grew up going to Woodchucks games, competing in the hot dog and mustard race and even getting the chance to be a bat boy. To be able to chase my dreams of broadcasting for the team I grew up cheering for in a ballpark I love, is extremely special! I am so excited to be back for another season and I am looking forward to working with the Woodchucks again in the summer of 2024!”

In welcoming Liam and Chase to our team, Ryan Malone, our Video & Digital Media Producer, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Bringing Chase back for the 2024 season is a thrill. His infectious enthusiasm on our webcast crew last year was undeniable, and I’m confident he’ll bring that same energy as a broadcaster. Liam, a skilled broadcaster, is poised to contribute a wealth of experience and innovative ideas to the Woodchucks.”

Season, half-season, and a variety of ticket packages are now on sale for the 2024 season! We look forward to seeing you at Athletic Park in 2024.
