Personal
Head, like several members of the 1975-76 Johnstown Jets, had a part in the movie Slap Shot. He plays one of the uncredited hockey players.
Head was one of several people responsible for founding the Bishop McCort hockey program in 1985. With Head leading the team as head coach, McCort would go to win three Pennsylvania state championships over a period of eleven years.
On October 18, 2003, Head was only the third person to have their number retired by the Johnstown Chiefs. Although he did not play for the Chiefs, as they were founded a year after his retirement, he was recognized for his contributions as a player with the Jets, his tenure with the Chiefs providing game night scouting reports, and for his contributions to hockey to the city of Johnstown. He is also a member of the Cambria County Sports Hall Of Fame, the Johnstown Hockey Hall Of Fame, and the Grande Prairie Hockey Hall Of Fame.
Head currently resides in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
