I’m excited to keep growing the game of hockey and delivering unforgettable experiences for the best fans in the ECHL right here in Hampton Roads. I’m grateful to Patrick and Anita Cavanagh for their trust and proud to lead an incredible team as we pursue excellence together. This logo, this city, and these people mean the world to me.
