Prior to the Capitals, Weinstein served on the athletic communications staff at Boston College. With the Eagles, Weinstein served as the primary athletic communications contact for the volleyball, swimming and diving, golf, and softball programs. He also served on the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Regional media relations staff in Boston, MA.
In the spring of 2008, Weinstein earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Boston College. In the summer before his senior year at BC, Weinstein served as the internet/publications intern for the New York Jets. He was in charge of producing daily content for the team's website during training camp.
Michael Bielak has also joined the Union Athletic Department as a sports information assistant. In May, Bielak graduated from St. John Fisher College where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in communications/journalism with a minor in philosophy. The Syracuse native worked three years as a student assistant in the college's sports information office.
Bielak had worked all of Fisher's 14 varsity sports and has traveled with the college's softball and baseball teams for spring break tournaments in Arizona and Florida. He also worked on media relations staffs for the 2010 NCAA Men's Basketball Regional in Buffalo, NY and the Duramed Futures Tour (the LPGA's development tour) Alliance Bank Golf Classic this summer.
At Union, Bielak will be the main contact for multiple sports, including women's ice hockey, one of the college's two Division I sports.
