About

Craig Simpson is a sports media & communications specialist, keying in on ice hockey but covering other sports such as cricket and basketball.

He has worked with the UK governing body for ice hockey since 2012 covering tournaments at home and abroad providing media support as well as event presence (PA announcements) for a number of IIHF World Championships. Most recently was media officer with GB Women in Korea and event media officer for GB Men’s Division 1A tournament in Nottingham.

At a domestic level he worked with Newcastle Vipers in the Elite League for almost a decade, PA announcer and media support, before joining the reformed Billingham Stars team in NIHL North Division 1 when they relaunched in 2011.

Initially just in a game-night role, Craig has since joined their media team and provides post-game interviews and highlights for their YouTube channel as well as editing and producing audio content from home and away games.

In the summer of 2014 Craig was the T20 voice of Durham Jets in the cricket T20 Blast competition, hosting five home games at the spectacular Riverside stadium culminating in the derby game against Yorkshire in front of over 6,000 fans.
