Pension Plan Puppets was lucky enough to interview Pro Hockey News beat reporter Don Money about the Solar Bears and how they’re doing at the midpoint of their season. The Bears have played 41 games and sit in third place in the South division, with a reasonably firm grasp on playoff hopes if they continue to play the way they did during their new coach honeymoon period.
We discussed this, as well as the eternal issue of the “Marlie-Bears” that head up and down the coast, in this interview with Don.
Don has been writing about the Orlando Solar Bears since they were revived as an ECHL team in the 2012-2013 season, which was incidentally the first time that new coach (and former Maple Leaf) Drake Berehowsky coached the Bears.
