Alastair Ingram is in his fifth season as the radio voice of the Vermont Catamounts, carrying on a rich tradition of broadcasting Vermont hockey, from Jack Healey to Chris Wojcik, and now Alastair himself. He graduated from Syracuse University in 2008, a world renowned broadcasting and journalism school. While at Syracuse, he majored in broadcasting and journalism and did radio play by play for the football, men's basketball, and men's lacrosse teams. He also worked as an ESPNU sideline reporter in their coverage of Orangemen football and won a Syracuse press club award while there.
Alastair also provided play by play coverage of Lowell Spinners baseball while pursuing his undergraduate studies.
Getting back to hockey, Alastair is the primary media contact for UVM hockey and hosts a weekly coach's show with Coach Kevin Sneddon on 620 AM WVMT, the flagship station for Catamount hockey. He broadcasted his first NCAA tournament game last March when the Catamounts faced Union in Bridgeport, CT, in the East Regional.
He is the assistant director of athletic communications at Vermont, and as such has other sports responsibilities on his plate. He is also the play by play voice of Vermont men's and women's soccer as well as men's and women's lacrosse for CatamounTV broadcasts. He also covered Vermont women's basketball and was at the mike for the program's first ever NCAA tournament win, over Wisconsin in 2010.
Alastair added international hockey to his play by play resume, as he travelled to Northern Ireland in November of 2016 to broadcast the second annual Friendship Four for Vermont, a tournament which the Catamounts won, beating UMass in the first round and St. Lawrence in the second round.
Alastair also has functioned as a sports talk show host and update anchor at ESPN radio in Boston and also did play by play for men's basketball and hockey at Babson College.
