When did you start playing hockey?
I started out playing roller hockey when I was about 7 and made the
transition to ice at the age of 10. Somehow, after my first summer
of playing forward on ice, I was able to con my parents into
letting me "try" goalie with a pair of old pads that were made
circa 1987.
Most memorable hockey moment:
My favorite hockey moment isn't actually a single moment-I loved
inter-squad "game days" each Thursday during my two years at the
North American Hockey Academy. Our teams were split into six
separate teams and played against one another in small games. The
amount of effort and intensity put into winning that ridiculous
tin-foil and Tupperware trophy was insane. Everyone got so pumped
up and had so much pride in their team.
Pre-game ritual/superstitions:
I don't have a set ritual. I usually just try to go with the flow
and remember to have fun, so each game is a little bit different
for me.
Dream job (other than hockey player):
My dream job would be a career as a real estate lawyer who
specialized in protecting the rights of private citizens in
imminent domain cases. I guess I could settle for New York Times
guest columnist and bestselling author as well, though.
What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is losing my loved ones.
If you could pick three people to eat dinner with, who
would they be:
If I could have dinner with anyone dead or living, I'd probably
have to sit down with Juan Pujol Garcia (the Spanish born British
intelligence double agent during World War II); Amelia Earhart; and
my ancestral grandfather, General John Glover, the man who ferried
George Washington's army across the Delaware River in the dead of
winter to take back Trenton-a key victory in the Revolutionary
War.
If you could travel to any place in the world, where would
you go:
Croatia-it's gorgeous.
Most embarrassing moment:
Once, at NAHA, one of my friends jumped on my back as I was penguin
sledding (a garbage bag over my clothes, running, jumping and
sliding down head first) down our giant hill and my friend jumped
right on my back as I was just taking off. The force of her weight
and the bumps on the way down put just enough pressure on my
bladder to make me pee myself all the way down the hill. The walk
back up to go home was awful... and cold.
If you could have one superhero power, what would it
be:
I'm okay with being a normal human being.
What is currently playing non-stop on your iPod:
Currently, nothing is playing on my iPod because it's broken.
However, if it weren't it would be Metric's old album, Grow Up and
Blow Away.
What is something you can't live without?
A flat pillow and YouTube.
