Out-Of-State Hockey Player Finds Way To Get Hoboken And NJ Grub

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Binghamton Devils recently relocated from upstate New York to Newark, N.J. for the current season, and for one player, that means a little more culinary joy.

Connelly told the website that years ago, his college roommate at the University of Wisconsin used to get Taylor ham shipped in from Philly (it's a South Jersey delicacy). So recently, while staying at an Airbnb in Hoboken, Connelly strolled up busy Washington Street to get a sandwich at O'Bagel, the website reports. Read more on The Athletic here.
