Hi everybody,
I just wanted to start a thread to talk about Andrew and what he’s meant to this club. Everyone knows how passionate and intense Andrew is but very few people know what goes on behind the scenes and just how much the Devils have meant to Lordo. In hockey, you’ve got 20 players not just to motivate and teach, you’ve got 20 PEOPLE that are all going through different things in their lives. Andrew, despite his tough guy reputation and image is one of the most caring and thoughtful people you’ll ever meet. He would regularly spend hours with individual players, working through their personal issues.
His work ethic is also unmatched...to the point of not being healthy. I’d regularly get texts from Lordo at 3:00 in the morning in Cardiff - in the middle of July!!!
Our club has meant everything to Lordo which is why you see the emotion that he has in announcing his departure. Lordo has accepted a head coaching job with an ECHL team that comes with it a very direct path to move up with two NHL organizations. It’s a huge and very rare opportunity for a coach coming out of our league and I couldn’t be happier for him as a friend.
Lordo will always be a Devil. He is helping us with the coach search and will undoubtedly be sending us great players from North America every year. Mostly though, I can’t wait to follow his success in North American hockey and see him fulfill his dream of coaching in the NHL. He can absolutely do it.
Thank you Lordo
