A big Eagle and his two little chums
Rookie forward Jacob Hernandez guested on the most-recent edition of the Soo Eagles Hockey Show, which airs on Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m. on ESPN 1400 Radio.
Later, Hernandez got to meet two young hockey players from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario — brothers Nick and Sam Caruso — who were on hand for the Eagles show, which is broadcast live from the Service Grill on Korah Rd.
The likeable Hernandez, who just moved up to the Eagles and the North American Hockey League from the Detroit Fighting Irish of the Midwest Jr. Hockey League in mid February, is pictured in photo above with the two Caruso boys.
With two games to go in the 2014-2015 NAHL regular season, the Eagles are second in the North Division with 64 points, which is one more than the third-place Keystone Ice Miners.
The Eagles will close out the regular season — and a chance to secure second spot and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs — when they play host to the Michigan Warriors on Friday and Saturday nights at Pullar Stadium.
Game times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and 7 p.m. on Saturday.
