Paul Steigerwald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Steigerwald (b. 6 August 1954 in Scott Township, Pennsylvania) is an American sports announcer.

The radio color analyst for the Pittsburgh Penguins since 1985, FSN Pittsburgh hired him on 29 June 2006 as its TV play-by-play announcer after it declined to renew the contract of fellow Penguins broadcaster Mike Lange, who was later hired by the team exclusively as its radio play-by-play announcer. Steigerwald has also been the radio play-by-play announcer for the Altoona Curve - the AA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates - since 2005.

Steigerwald became a hockey fan growing up in Pittsburgh's South Hills. One of his neighbors was Penguins general manager Jack Riley, who would provide tickets for the poorly-attended games. Steigerwald developed an interest in hockey and even played at the club level while attending Kent State University. Before he became part of the broadcast team, Steigerwald held a variety of front office positions with the Penguins.

He appeared in Sudden Death. His brother, John, has an evening talk show on KDKA radio.
