Meet the Staff: Director of Broadcasting and Corporate Partnerships, Brady Beedon

The next member of the staff in our “Meet the Staff” series is Director of Broadcasting and Corporate Partnerships Brady Beedon, the voice of the Motor City Rockers.

Beedon, a Marysville native, has always been involved in sports.

Beedon’s time in professional sports began while he was in high school. For three years, he worked for a local indoor football team, first as a chain gang member and later as the team mascot.

He stayed close to home for college, attending Wayne State University to study broadcast journalism while also playing on the football team.

It was during college that he first started working in professional hockey with the Port Huron Prowlers.

“I almost sabotaged myself,” Beedon said. “I had been getting a lot of spam phone calls at the time, and someone from the Prowlers called to ask if I would do their PA announcing. I initially hung up on them before Googling the number and realizing it was legitimate.”

After filling in during parts of the 2016-17 season, Beedon became the full-time PA announcer for the next two seasons.

Once he finished his college playing career, he immediately stepped into a full-time role with the team.

“My last college football game was a Saturday in November,” Beedon said. “The next Friday, I was on the bus with the team heading to Mentor, Ohio, to call a pair of games.”

Beedon spent the remainder of the 2019-20 season as part of the Prowlers’ broadcast team. However, the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With an uncertain future, Beedon found other work covering high school sports. It was not until more than a year later that he found another opportunity in professional hockey.

“I was at a Prowlers game just as a fan,” Beedon said. “People I knew from my time with the Prowlers introduced me to this ownership group that was reviving the Motor City Rockers brand. I was extremely interested, and from there we connected, and I haven’t looked back.”

Beedon was in the booth for the Rockers’ first-ever game in 2022 and has been a mainstay with the team since.

In 2025, Beedon received the MAB Excellence in Broadcasting Award for his coverage of the Rockers’ playoff series against the Danbury Hat Tricks.

After Motor City announced its dormancy, Beedon still wanted to remain heavily involved and viewed it as an opportunity to grow.

“The news initially was a gut punch,” Beedon said. “I was ready to take on a larger role, and then you’re told you have to wait a year. It was tough. But it also allowed me to prepare for the challenge of relaunching a team in a new city.”

With the Rockers returning to active status, Beedon added director of corporate partnerships to his title of director of broadcasting.

“It’s been great to get out and meet all the people of Downriver,” Beedon said. “There are a ton of locally owned businesses, and if I have learned one thing since being down here, it’s that Downriver supports Downriver. I want to help put the Rockers in the middle of that and be able to partner with as many people as possible.”
