Frank Milano had quite the honor before the Washington Capitals' game against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on Saturday.
Frank, father to Capitals forward Sonny Milano, announced the starting lineup in the locker room and got the team fired up before its big game. He even got to announce his own son starting at left wing.

The elder Milano started by giving a short hype-up speech to Capitals, then went right into reading off the lineup. He ended with Sonny, to a loud applause from the rest of the team. The Milano family is from nearby Massapequa, NY on Long Island. No one better than pops to get you hyped up before the big game.
