In his last week before retirement, News 8 Sports Director Pat Principe is counting down his top five moments.
HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SPORTS DEPARTMENT HERE. CORRECT. RIGHT. WELL, THIS WEEK YOU’RE COUNTING DOWN WHAT YOUR TOP FIVE BIG SPORTS MOMENTS OR MEMORIES, WHICH IS KIND OF DIFFICULT WHEN YOU’VE BEEN AT THIS FOR 40 PLUS YEARS TO PICK JUST FIVE. BUT WE DID NARROW IT DOWN TO FIVE AND IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. AND WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE HERSHEY BEARS WINNING THE 2010 CALDER CUP. AND THIS WAS NOTABLE FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
It was only the third time ever they were able to raise the cup on home ice. They did it in 1959 and 1969. This was the team’s 11th Calder Cup championship, which moved them two ahead of the next closest pursuer. "And Brian Helmer, the captain – great friend of mine and he's now the president and general manager of the bears – it was great to see him hoist the cup," Principe said."Hershey Bears have been one of the great things to cover in this area. They are one of the oldest pro sports franchises in the entire country. They've been great to work with as well."
