Starting in 2021, Riverfront Broadcasting’s Capital City Rock and subsequent YouTube page, Capital City Rock Sports, has broadcasted every game of both the girls and boys state hockey tournaments over the last five years. Riverfront Broadcasting and the South Dakota Amateur Hockey Association partnered at the end of 2022 for a three year contract. The contract was renewed for the next three years extending through the 2028 state tournaments.
All five years of broadcasting the state tournament, Capital City Rock has seen an upward trend in live viewers for each tournament on both the girls and boys side. The overall views, excluding the 2025 state tournament when YouTube wrongly suspended the channel immediately after the boys state tournament, have gone up exponentially, both live and in replays. Jon Winkler and Jim Lloyd, with also Jeff Anderson have broadcasted each game over the last five years.
This year, the girls state tournament runs March 5-7 in Mitchell while the boys tournament returns to Sioux Falls, March 12-14.
Capital City Rock is your home for the Oahe Capitals and continues to be the home for the state hockey tournaments through the 2028 tournaments. You can re-watch any game from the state tournaments or Oahe Capitals by following the link below to the Capital City Rock sports YouTube page.
