Beloit Memorial hires Erick "Otis" Johnson as new hockey coach

 Not everyone can say it, but Erick “Otis” Johnson truly has his dream job.

“When I was a kid skating in the (Beloit Youth Hockey Association) I dreamed of putting on a purple and white jersey and playing for Beloit Memorial,” Johnson said. “That was incentive to work hard form age 10 on up. After I graduated, I wanted to be head coach.”
 
Johnson, 29, has his wish.
