Hutch set off the fire alarm?

"arena logistical & personnel issues" is a euphemism for: "Our Zamboni driver quit, and he took the arena master key with him."

It's déjà vu all over again in Biloxi ...

Is this 6 or 7 coaches in their 2-plus seasons? I've lost count.

Hutch is next…

 

[JMCx4]

Is this 6 or 7 coaches in their 2-plus seasons? I've lost count.

Let's see ...

1. Phil Esposito (the infamous one, hired to coach their 2022-23 inaugural season, fired November 2022)
2. Joe Pace Jr. (added GM & HC to his CEO title, coached until Feb 2024)
3. Dustin Skinner (coached for the rest of the 2023-24 season)
4. Ray Tremblay (hired as new Head Coach in June 2024, stepped down a month later)
5. David Heeps (replaced Tremblay, relieved of HC duty in early November 2024)
6. Richard Parent (hired to replace Heeps, named "Interim Head Coach" on presumption of Soskin & Pace Jr. finally admitting to themselves that he'll leave soon?)

I've been watching a bit of the Zydeco @ Moccasins game tonight on FPHL Live (aka, You Tube). First Moccs action I've seen, didn't realize they are rockin' the Notre Dame/VGK vibe with the shiny gold helmets. I was feeling sorry for their equipment manager & his bag of polishing rags, but a check of their website finds no such staff position. They do, however, list "DEZMOND JACKSON, TEAM SPORTS CHAPLAIN". So maybe Pastor Jackson handles ALL heavenly duties.

Moccs turn around a 2-0 deficit in Biloxi, and defeat the Sea Wolves 3-2.
