ANNOUNCER OF RECORD

A longstanding strength of Pfeifer Sports is the consistency with which it produces quality productions. That's why organizations like Marquette University, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association and the Lakeshore Chinooks have trusted Pfeifer with their highest-profile events.

 

As a result, Pfeifer Sports has constructed a historical record unto itself.

Pfeifer also maintained a streak of consecutive home games worked for the Lakeshore Chinooks of the Northwoods League when he was part of their organization between 2013-19. The streak included the 2014 Northwoods League All-Star Game and Collegiate Summer World Series. The streak ended when Pfeifer decided to free up more time for other opportunities following the 2019 season.

Pfeifer Sports has been present for every Marquette Golden Eagles men's & women's soccer match of meaning since 2007

Marquette Athletics, specifically Marquette Soccer, has been the top priority for Pfeifer Sports since 2007. "The Streak" even survived the jumbled post-pandemic schedules of 2021. If there's been a regular-season or postseason college soccer match at Valley Fields, Dan Pfeifer has provided the PA voice and music.

Pfeifer Sports provides the soundtrack for WIAA state championships

A "voice of champions," Pfeifer Sports is the WIAA's first choice as the announcer & music coordinator for its state high school boys' soccer, girls' soccer and softball championships. Accordingly, Pfeifer has provided the soundtrack for moments in history that will be discussed even when those who made that history are long gone. 

​

As of Nov. 9, 2024, Pfeifer has been the voice of 53 WIAA state championship awards ceremonies, recognizing 37 different schools as champions and 36 as runners-up. Sixty-four of the over 500 WIAA member schools have received a trophy after having their players' names read by Dan Pfeifer. 

 

Pfeifer has recognized the Oregon Panthers as champions more than any other school: Five of the 10 times they've won a state title. He voiced the 2023 Division 4 girls' soccer ceremony which awarded Kiel its first state title in the school's 95-year history, the 2022 Division 4 boys' soccer ceremony that gave Cristo Rey Jesuit, a school that opened in 2015, its first championship, and the 2024 Division 3 boys' soccer championship that awarded Augustine Prep, an academy founded in 2017, its first title.
