Director of Operations
Ken Oda, native of Chicago, Illinois, joined the Tauros’ staff in August of 2012 and has been with the team for eleven seasons. Prior to that Ken was the Media Director for the Chicago Hitmen in both the NAHL and NA3HL. Ken was the broadcast voice of the Chicago Blaze of the All American Hockey League 2008. He has a Bachelors of Arts degree in English from Depaul University (2007).
During the week, Ken oversees all non-hockey operations for the Tauros, but on game nights he is the broadcast voice for the Tauros. Can you say “palendrome on the clock“? Over the last decade Ken has made Minot home. When not at the rink he can be found with Victoria, their two children, and their dog enjoying everything the Magic City has to offer.
