Around/About Central Georgia

Macon release new logo, introduce coach

          New head coach Dave Pszenyczny spoke for less than a minute, a week after his hiring was announced.

          “Being a former player, I actually lost a championship in that building years ago,” he said. “The hockey world’s small. It’s great to be back here.

          “At the end of the day, it’s just great to be a part of this, and what (owner) Chuck (Norris) and the supporting staff have already started to do.”

          Pszenyczny plans to continue player involvement in the community.

          “We obviously need everybody’s support,” he said. “Macon is something that we should be proud of, and that’s what we’re gonna reflect that on the ice.”
