More than a Police Officer
While Paul is extremely proud of his public safety service – he is much more diverse and knowledgeable in other city services than just the police.
Paul served two years as an Assistant Den Leader and two more years as an Assistant Packmaster for Cub Scout Pack 215 – Cub Scouts of America - Anchorage – Western Alaska Council.
Paul has served in youth sports – in baseball as a field umpire in support of solo officials, fundraising and supporting team functions.
Paul became hooked on hockey as a young man, and when his children were playing age – Paul quickly turned from team parent to Coach when the assigned coach was unable to serve his daughters team. First year (Atoms) skaters were suddenly supported by three hockey dads, Paul serving as head coach. Paul became an assistant coach for many teams during his son’s playing years and became known as the team ‘hoseman’ for keeping the young players hydrated during the games.
Perhaps the highlight of Paul’s hockey career was serving as an Assistant to Head Coach Rob Larkey at East High School. Many fine young men and women played during Paul’s two year service to the team. Most of those players have stayed in contact with Paul Honeman, updating him as to their life progress and being excellent citizens in Anchorage and around the country.
One particular player – Scott Gomez – himself something of a local sports legend, has stayed in constant contact with Paul.
