The Original Voice of the Tiger Sharks, Kyle Schultz returned to the Tiger Sharks in their third season after serving as the play-by-play voice of the International Hockey League's Turner Cup Championship Utah Grizzlies during the 1995-96 season.

Known as the "Father of Hockey Broadcasting" in the South, Schultz's unique sound has sculpted hockey in the minds of the Northern Florida and Southern Georgia fans, and brough a wealth of experience ot the radio/television booth.

Schultz broadcast the very first Tiger Sharks game in their history, and has also broadcast the Eastern Indoor Soccer League's Tallahassee Scorpians for the summer of 1997 and 1998. Shultz was named the EISL broadcaster of the year in 1997 and was also named to the East Coast Hockey League's All-Star Broadcast team during the 1997 season, providing the intermission interviews on the league's nationwide broadcast.

It it with extreme and profound sadness that I must report the passing of the Voice of the Tiger Sharks. Kyle died at the age of 41 in a car accident. Please see the related articles below for details.

No one will ever be able to replace Kyle in the hearts of Tiger Sharks fans. He was a one of a kind guy, one of the people who made this team special.

Kyle, you will be greatly missed!
