Coastal Currents with Aaron Reid | Behind the Scenes with the Powell River Kings
Season 3 of Coastal Currents continues with another look at the people behind the Powell River Kings!
In this episode, Aaron sits down with Charlie Black, a familiar face to Kings fans who has returned to the Hap Parker Arena as the team's on-ice personality.
Charlie is also involved with the Langley Trappers, but his connection to Powell River and the Kings has brought him back to the local hockey scene.
Aaron and Charlie catch up on his hockey journey, his experiences both in Powell River and Surrey, and the energy and personality he brings to the game-day experience.
It's another opportunity to get to know the people who help make Powell River Kings hockey about more than just what happens on the ice.
