Rob O’Gara is having the craziest summer of his life.
The Nesconset native got married Saturday in Maine — the same day he turned 26 years old — and, you know how people sometimes joke that life is short, and you should have dessert first? Well, O’Gara and his wife, Isabel, actually went on their honeymoon last month, weeks before the wedding. For a free agent hockey player, you kind of don’t want to be traipsing all over Europe in early July, when your agent is trying to negotiate a contract for you.
“Basically, everything happens on July 1st [when the free agent signing period begins],’’ O’Gara said in a telephone interview from his in-laws’ house in Wayland, Mass.
