Radio Recon Promises Not to Bring Up Lake Placid Circa 1980

Former Muscovite Nikita Kashirsky and US National Junior Standout Mark Mitera are Too Young to Remember That Moment When Everyone on this Side of the Atlantic Believed In Miracles Anyhow

Sinking Spring, PA – The Reading Royals cordially invite you to join us on Tuesday Night (February 5, 2013) from 6 – 7 pm at Jimmy G’s Railroad House Sports Bar and Restaurant (152 Woodrow Avenue, Sinking Spring, PA; 610-678-1177) for Radio Recon, the Reading Royals’ weekly coach’s show. Although Nikita Kashirsky starred at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont—and actually speaks better English than most of us—he was born in Moscow, Russia, so he may have an interesting perspective on the history of hockey in the Olympics; while Mark Mitera, a standout at the University of Michigan—and a member of several US Junior National Teams—might posit a countervailing view. My suggestion: let’s all raise a shot of vodka, sing a couple choruses of Kumbaya and get ready for a busy week of hockey. And, oh yeah, Assistant Coach Tim Branham is in charge of bringing the Wisconsin cheese to go with our Russian beverages….. We expect to have the whole Royals’ broadcast crew with us, including Scott Rathman, who will have the wireless mic in the crowd in order to solicit comments and questions from fans. As always, we’ll have crazy trivia and giveaways for fans who participate in the show. Royals Radio Recon will be broadcast live on the Royals Broadcast Network (ESPN Radio 1240 am and 98.5 fm in Reading).
