Hector Acevedo Wins CHL Media Services Award


Inaugural CHL Media Services Award Winner Announced
Denver Daily News Photographer Hector Acevedo Wins Media Award

The Central Hockey League (CHL) announced today that Hector Acevedo, staff photographer for the Denver Daily News, has won the inaugural Central Hockey League Media Services Award.  The award will be ‘Presented annually to the media member that has provided outstanding service to and coverage of the CHL while helping to further the recognition of the league’s brand’.

Along with his duties with the Denver Daily News, Acevedo also serves as the team photographer for the Rocky Mountain Rage and the Broomfield Event Center.  He also works for many other media outlets in the Denver Metro area as a freelance photographer and provides visiting CHL teams and the CHL league office with game photos during and after the event.  In addition to the CHL, he has covered the Colorado Avalanche and the University of Denver hockey program.  He is known for capturing spontaneity, emotion and action and the true spirit of hockey.  His reputation for sharp clear images and anticipation of what is going to happen is his trademark.

“Hector continually provides outstanding photos for the league’s use in publications and on the league website as well as providing action shots for all CHL teams that visit Broomfield,” said Bob Hoffman, the CHL’s Director of Communications.  “The shots he provides, the service he brings and the always positive attitude makes him great to deal with and a true asset to the CHL.”

The Laredo, Texas native has been working in photojournalism since completion of his degree at the Colorado Institute of Art in 1982, where his expertise was photography.  He began his career working for weekly newspapers in Spanish and English to build his portfolio.  He also attended George Mason University where he was a double major in Psychology and Spanish.  He currently resides in Aurora, Colorado with his wife Della and son Miguel.

“Hector was an easy choice for the Rage’s team photographer,” said Erin Pahl, Director of Media Relations, Broomfield Sports and Entertainment.  “I met him while working with the University of Denver Hockey team and I quickly noticed the quality of his work and his reputation in the community.  I became an instant fan.”
