NBC Sports – One of Katie Emmer’s earliest childhood memories involves putting on ice skates.
She says she might have been 3 at the time, but could have been younger. Katie grew up in a household that loved hockey. She and her six brothers — yes six — would play on the pond in their backyard.
Katie turned her love of hockey and other sports into a broadcasting career. She most recently worked at Fox Sports North where she covered the Minnesota Wild, Twins, Lynx, Golden Gophers, and Timberwolves. In 2018, she was honored with the Jim Nantz Award as the top collegiate sports broadcaster in the country and is the first woman in history to receive the award. She graduated from St. Cloud University with a degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Television Broadcast Journalism.
Her knowledge and passion for sports, particularly hockey, make her a great host for Flyers Pregame Live and Flyers Postgame Live.
