Attend a Dallas Stars hockey game next season and you’ll likely be entertained by a Horned Frog.

Since the start of the 2002 season Hilary Kennedy ’01 has been adding her commentary to those not-so-sporty antics for Stars prizes held at intermission.

Already a sports fan before she took the job, Kennedy said she gets a kick out of preparing contestants for their high-pressure, must-win-that-signed-puck moments on the ice.

“There’s something really fun about prepping contestants who are about to go out on the ice and try to win a great prize at games where they might have to shoot wieners out of slingshot and into the goal to win signed jerseys,” she said. “And the up side for me is that I don’t have to wear the wiener costume.”

Kennedy also gets to prepare some pre-game entertainment. Her most memorable moment — interviewing Willie O’Ree, the first black man to play successfully in the NHL.

During the off-season Kennedy focuses on acting. She recently completed a series of national television commercials, including one for J.C. Penney’s department stores.
