Face Off Hockey Show

Scott Wasilewski (“Scotty Wazz”), Scott Wasilewski got involved with the FOHS in 2001. His overall knowledge of the teams and players, and the stats that connect them made it a snap to establish himself as host. Scott’s main priority is keeping the others on the topic at hand, though it isn’t uncommon for him to initiate hilarity. Scott has played hockey since the 1989-90 season, and is credited with captaining his Junior Varsity hockey team to an undefeated season. He recently relocated to Calgary, Alberta, Canada where holidays come early and mail comes when it feels like it. Scott is credentialed with the Calgary Hitmen, the WHL team in the area,and also has a fantasy hockey column that is published online by the popular men’s magazine, FHM. Scott's favorite hockey player is former Washington Capital Bengt Gustafsson and his voice mysteriously resembles a sober version of FOHS character Jimmy Chunkybutter.

Sean O’Connor (“Sean-O”), Sean O’Connor has a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and brings with him over 9 years experience in the sports industry, specializing in sports marketing and media/internet broadcasting. Being the President of All in Broadcasting, LLC, doesn’t stop Sean from having a little fun with the hockey world. He tends to speak what is on his mind, adding a humorous edge to the show that keeps everyone on their toes. Rule#1 of the FOHS states “Sean is always right” and he frequently exercises this rule while creating words and arguing for the sake of argument. Sean’s brag sheet as a hockey fan stretches across NHL All-Star Games, entry Drafts and Stanley Cup finals. Sean’s favorite NHL player is goalie Roberto Luongo because he believes he’ll lead Vancouver to the Stanley Cup ... eventually.

Jon Pitonzo (“JonnyP”), Pitonzo has never missed a game, a draft, or a party important to the FOHS - and he doesn't intend to. From Sunrise, FL to Vancouver, British Columbia, if there’s a reason for the FOHS to be there, you can bet he's on his way. This dedication to the show is unmatched and has been from the beginning. While working towards a degree in Business Administration and Economics (with a minor in Accounting), Jon somehow found the time to help create the FOHS. Jon approaches all hockey with the respect of a fan and the science of a coach, making him a clear favorite of the listeners. In his free time, (when he isn't busy posting pictures of Ice Girls on the FOHS message board), he referees NCAA and high school soccer games. As a true fan, Jon is not only secure enough to admit that he cried when Wayne Gretzky retired, but that the Washington Capitals are his favorite team.

Marc Pitonzo (“Marc with a ‘C’”), Marc Pitonzo has been following hockey ever since he and his older brother, Jon, learned how to use the TV remote. An engineer by day, Marc has a quick wit and a true passion for the game. This enthusiasm is best displayed when guests come on the show – giving Marc an opportunity to ask questions that only a true fan would. His balance of logic and humor makes him a respected voice on the show, though the others aren’t quick to admit it. In 2002, Marc decided to take his passion for the game to the ice and taught himself to play goalie. His style resembles that of his favorite goalie, Dominic Hasek, and though he speaks humbly of his skills, he is highly sought after in his adult league. Marc’s favorite hockey coach is Emilio Estevez. He is also a long time fan of Bill Clement’s moustache.

Laura Deschaine (“PR Laura”), Laura Deschaine originally applied for the internship that didn’t exist. Being a Communications major at the University of Maryland, she was quickly put to work as the Public Relations Executive for the FOHS. She often helps keep the boys off topic during the show and is known for her tendency to say the wrong thing at the right time. Growing up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula makes it hard to avoid hockey, so Laura didn’t even try. Skating since age 3 and playing since 14, Laura practically grew up in an ice rink. She currently plays for the women’s club team at the University of Maryland and teams up with Marc on the ice for Southwest Airlines in the local adult league. Her favorite team is the New Jersey Devils, or any team willing to give Ty Conklin another chance.
