My visit to the first Icers skate of the school year on Tuesday included a chance to chat with Josh Hand, who will be a man wearing many hats during the upcoming hockey season.
Not only will Josh be back as an assistant coach under Guy Gadowsky, he's the new head coach of the D-II Ice Lions AND Josh Brandwene has asked him to coach the ladies who will be tending the nets for the Lady Lions.
It's good to young and full of energy. Congrats to Josh and good luck with the Ice Lions.
On a more serious note, the pending arrival of Hurricane Irene along the East Coast is going to have an impact on a number of members of the Icers Family.
Paul Daley Sr. is the Emergency Management Coordinator in Toms River, NJ. "Big Paul" sent me a text this morning saying he's earning his pay this weekend. In addition, Gunner's mother Mary is a trauma nurse. Let's hope that they aren't overworked over the next few days.
Having reported on a number of tropical storms and hurricanes, including Katrina, I can't stress enough the importance of heeding the advice of officials when they tell you to be prepared. Have an evacuation plan in place and stock up on supplies that you'll need in the event of power outages and flooding.
Above all, be safe.
And speaking of Hurricane Katrina, one of the funniest interviews that I've done in my journalism career happened while Katrina was still a tropical storm brewing off the coast of Florida.
It turned out to be a little levity before the tragedy along the Gulf Coast.
