The partnership will also include promotional game nights across iHeartMedia Fresno’s eight stations throughout the season and iHeart presence at every Falcons home game at Selland Arena.

“Having iHeartMedia alongside us as we bring the Fresno Falcons back to the Valley is incredibly exciting,” said Falcons President Jimmy Fries. “Their tremendous reach gives us the opportunity to connect Falcons hockey with audiences throughout our community. They understand Fresno and the Central Valley, and they’re going to be a tremendous partner in helping us make Falcons hockey part of the Valley sports conversation.”

Principal Partner Parker Moskal added: “Bringing the Fresno Falcons back has always been about giving the Central Valley something we can all share again. Hockey is for everyone, families, longtime fans, and people experiencing the sport for the first time, and partnering with iHeartMedia Fresno ensures every one of them can stay connected to this team. Whether you’re in the arena, listening at home, or catching the broadcast on the go, Falcons hockey is now accessible to the entire Valley. This partnership reflects our commitment to building a team that belongs to the community, and to creating a future where Falcons hockey is part of everyday life in the Central Valley.”
