from the Northwest Herald:
Ah, yes, the penalty box man. Perhaps there is no more anonymous or invisible person in sports. But that heavy door doesn’t open and shut itself for recently punished skaters, does it now?
That’s why I recently asked the Chicago Hounds if I could have the job for last Sunday’s game against the Rockford Ice Hogs.
My reasons were selfish. Not only do I enjoy opening and closing all sorts of doors, the opportunity to see and hear the players in an uncensored environment was too good to pass up.
Plus I wanted to yell things like “Release the Hounds!” and “I Let the Dogs Out!” whenever a penalty expired.

My son was the youth hockey player of the game for a Thrashers game on his 8th birthday last year. The penalty box guy brings a camera with him to games and has one of the promotions helpers take a couple pictures of him with the kid in the box. He gets the address info from the parents and mails the pictures, once the roll is complete. One picture is super stern and angry, in the other he’s completely clowning.
What a super cool guy.
