'Coach Kash' was more like a bro: Friend speaks up about FBI director amid raging controversy

At a time, FBI director Kash Patel is embroiled in several controversies mostly surrounding his alleged erratic behavior, people from his past, those who know Patel as 'Coach Kash' have spoken up about how passionate he is about hockey. One Clark Mowrey told CNN how a decade ago he saw Kash Patel working out at a gym in DC wearing a Hartford Whalers shirt. Mowrey said he started a conversation with Kash and found out that he was an employee at the DOJ but very enthusiastic about hockey.

Mowrey said he asked Patel whether he would coach his son's team. It was never paid and Patel was very busy at that time but he never missed any practice and any game and he often came at the rink wearing his work suit, Mowrey said. “The kids kind of fell in love with him, and he was always there and always available," Mowrey said adding that his son still texts Patel monthly and other kids -- who are now young men in their 20s-- discuss about Coach Kash.
