Being the Public Address announcer has many benefits. Like... THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE! Sitting directly between the penalty boxes, I am center ice and almost on the ice. When the best players in the world crash into the glass two feet from my face, knocking the monitor into my lap, am I afraid? No sir. I am grinning like an idiot. Sometimes, a grown-up job truly brings out the child in you.
This is one of those times. I'm proud to be the PA for the Washington Capitals. And the kid inside me is positively giddy.
