when they couldn't really give out penalties
Most memorable hockey moment:
Winning the Northeast 10 Championship with the greatest bunch of
guys this side of the Mississippi
Pre-game ritual/superstitions:
None. I just try to not make everything so serious, if you do that
then there's no pressure. Sometimes I stretch and tape my stick or
something of that nature
Dream job (other than hockey player):
Anything that makes a lot of money, because money can't buy
happiness...it just buys the things that make you happy
If you could pick three people to eat dinner with, who
would they be:
Al Iafrate, because of his booming hard slapshot, C.T from
the Real World, and Brendan O'Brien (Stonehill) because he's just
so money
If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you
go:
Jamaica, I want to party with those bobsledders
Most embarrassing moment:
When you're as comfortable with yourself as much as I am, you just
don't get embarrassed

be:
Definitely X-ray vision

Michael Jackson - what a legend!
