For the first time ever, Field Pass Hockey and our partners at DASH Auction are working together to co-sponsor the South Carolina Stingrays Alumni night festivities this Saturday evening. Each day through Friday, we will have interviews with some of the legends of Stingrays hockey, and we will have on-site coverage from Charleston beginning Wednesday and continuing through Sunday.

Leading off the first of four interviews, Field Pass Hockey’s Matthew Harding chats with legendary South Carolina Stingrays goaltender Jeff Jakaitis.

They discuss being a rarity in his senior season at Lake Superior State University, his early ECHL days and the first stint in Europe, what led him to South Carolina, playing in triple overtime of game 7 in the Conference Finals, getting inducted into the Stingrays Hall of Fame, and more!
