When your radio guy drives the equipment van

"Did I hear that the play-by-play announcer drove the equipment van? Does he have a license for that?"

"We try not to think too hard about things like that..."

In a hard-working league like the ECHL, everyone wears a lot of different hats. The above conversation took place when Orlando's 96.9 The Game radio host learned that Jesse Liebman, the Solar Bears play-by-play guy (among other duties), might have been the relief equipment driver for the Solar Bears' road trip.

Liebman did a fine job -- not only did he convey and help hang the equipment in each arena before calling the games (in South Carolina, Greenville, Evansville, and Cincinnati), but the Solar Bears rewarded him by playing some fantastic hockey, taking home at least a point in every game to garner 8 out of a possible 10.
