As most of you may know, our own Andrew Ferraro, when he's not blogging about exciting finishes, does PA work for the Rice Owls. So before Sunday afternoon's game, I snapped this photo of the voice at work. That's him in front of the angry looking guy in the baseball hat.

Look at that focus. Drew's a pro.
Andrew is a [b] great [/b] PA guy! He also knows the game of hockey, certainly better than a certain someone. I think the Aeros need to take note.
P.S. -Andtew can call college volleyball , too.
There's nothing Drew can't do - and he often does it all in the same day. Everyone on your feat as I hear his voice singing the National Anthem!
(He's a super Dad too!)
Thanks for all the kind words! I have not announced a hockey game in several years ... I used to back up a guy in san Antonio after Tony Uminski had the gig. Now the rampage have a guy named Roland that does an absolute perfect job and never misses a game. The Aeros have two guys that love what they do, but, I think could do a little bit more prep work that would cut down on 90 percent of the things that fans complain about. I do think they both have improved this year. Sorry to chase rabbits with my comment!
Somehow I think, Andrew, you are waaaay more professional than our roving announcer and if we had someone like you behind the mike, we wouldn't need two guys. I remember when we just had CJ and he was terrific, as I'm certain you are.
Wow ... you guys are great! People are going to think I am writing all of these.
It's a fun gig. I also do the Rice Owls baseball and football games.
I have done a half dozen Astros games, two Rockets games, two Comets games and many UH events.
I was the Dynamo's first PA guy back in 2006, but now PA Steve for the Aeros handles those duties and does a good job for them.
I probably did 10-15 Rampage games over the Years, and their sound system is just incredible.
I love to announce, but I love writing about hockey just a little bit more. Dealing with the players at the AHL level is so very interesting.
WOW, Just WOW, Andrew!
