During the March 28 game vs. the San Jose Sharks, we welcomed United States Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Charlie Mills and Coyle the K-9.
Senior Chief Petty Officer Mills enlisted with the Navy in 1986 as a Hospital Corpsman and went on to receive the Navy Commendation Medal and Combat Action Ribbon, among others, during his 26 years of service. He has also served as a volunteer firefighter in Sunbury and a paramedic with Delaware County. Since 2009, he has served with the Perry Township Police Department.
During that time, he handled Coyle, a dual-purpose explosive detection and patrol canine. Having retired from active service in July 2025, Coyle is now living his best life with his partner, Charlie.
