DAN D’UVA MEDIA AND BROADCASTING CONSULTANT
Dan D’Uva is currently the broadcast voice of the Syracuse Crunch, the minor league hockey affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning of
the NHL. Dan and his former partner, Guy Benson, began their broadcasting careers as the first Chatham Anglers’ broadcasters in
2001. He remained in that capacity throughout his college years. Dan attended Syracuse University while eventually graduating from
Fordham University with a degree in broadcast journalism. Throughout college, he broadcast virtually every major sport and continued
his career into the professional ranks as the lead broadcaster for the then Trenton Devils, the minor league affiliate of the NHL’s New
Jersey Devils. Despite his otherwise busy schedule Dan has stayed on as a broadcast and media consultant for the Chatham Anglers.
He assists with the selection of broadcast and media interns, has been instrumental in making changes to the Anglers’ Website and
was the first individual to bring social media to a Cape Cod Baseball League team.

PETER BURNS PUBLIC ADDRESS VOICE OF THE ANGLERS
Peter Burns returns for his third season behind the mic as the official voice of the Chatham Anglers. Peter has loved the game of
baseball his entire life and has attended Chatham Anglers (and A’s) games for as long as he can remember. His earliest memories of
the Chatham A’s are Walt Terrell (’79), Scott Bradley (’79-80), and Mike Stenhouse (’77-79). Peter was not there when Stenhouse hit
a homerun that took once bounce into the fire station, but his father was – Peter claims he was there anyway. A native of Ansonia,
CT, Peter is the author of Shock the World: UConn Basketball in the Calhoun Era. He has two sports claims to fame: he attended the
Darling vs. Viola game at Yale Field in 1981 and he once got Brad Ausmus, now manager of the Detroit Tigers, to pop out in an American
Legion game. Peter is a professor of political science at Soka University of America in Aliso Viejo, CA following 14 years as a professor of
political science at Loyola University New Orleans. In 2012, Princeton Review named Burns one of the top 300 professors in the country
