Home town?

Hockey experience?

Played street hockey in parking lots and tennis courts on the mean streets of Abilene in Jr. High, and then moved up to Roller. We had no leagues or anything back then, a group of us would take over tennis courts and parking lots on Sunday afternoons, and play pick up hockey. Eventually got around to renting out an old run down skating rink in a dirty part of town. Roller hockey took off, and we ended up building boards, installing nets, a scoreboard, and forming a travel team out of that little rink. Moved to Dallas Jr. year in college, and played roller up in Denton till for a couple years then took a break to play golf full time, and jumped back into ice a few years back..

Current/Past teams?

Abilene Devils, Longview Rangers, Senators (Bronze), Blazers (Silver), Maple Leafs (New Over 35 League)

Hobbies?

I enjoy working in the yard. Like Hank Hill I have to have the best yard in the neighborhood. Golf, Hockey, Bird Hunting, Video Games, Cooking, Playing the Drums, Playing Vintage Analogue Synthesizers, Time Travel, Bits, Watching the Ottawa Senators, Television, eating, talking about how Stanley Kubrick helped NASA fake the Apollo Moon Landing, fireworks, spending time with my daughter, fishing, swimming in the ocean, ALF reruns, having weekly meditation sessions in the penalty boxes of the Nytex Sports Centre, painting, writing, dreaming of getting on Jeopardy someday, travelling, Making Low Budget Movies, searching for the real Killer of Nicole Brown Simpson, tracking the mythical chupacabra, and working on my autobiography called “Inches from Par.”

Pre game ritual?

Eating whole wheat pasta, drinking 100% juice no sugar added cranberry juice with a squeeze of lime, listening to Europe’s classic 1980’s hit song The Final Countdown exactly seven times in a row, doing 50 sit ups in my underwear while reciting the alphabet twice leaving the letter C out the first time and the letter A out the second time through, getting in my car and driving around the block while leaning out the window squawking like a rooster stuck in a bear trap with Motorhead’s Ace of Spades blarring n the background, driving to Nytex while listening to the Ticket, then finally pulling into the parking lot playing dream on by aerosmith twice in a row whil punching the steering wheel, honking the horn, and yelling “I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.”

Hockey Hero?

Daniel Alfredson from Ottawa, Chris Neil from Ottawa, Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios, Killer, Carlson, and Ogie Ogelthorpe

Hockey Nemesis?

Topher Scott. Pretty sure I could take him if push ever came to shove.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

The ability to read minds. I would then go to Vegas and make millions playing poker.

Ginger or Mary Anne?

I would have to go with Ginger on this one. My initial thought is that Mary Anne is probably a pretty cool chic, the all American girl, but the cut off jean shorts and western shirt don’t do it for me. Sure she is a cool gal, but she dresses awful, and probably has bad taste in music. Ginger seems pretty dumb, and if I told her I was going to be gone for a few days I had some important business with some of my fellow astronauts on the moon, she would probably buy it being totally oblivious to the fact that I am not an astronaut and we cant go to the moon. Then I would have a few days to go on a little golfing vacation. Mary Anne would probably not fall for that. I’d have to do something about Ginger’s voice though. Perhaps get her a 1-900 job to help defray the cost of living a bit.

Your message to the NYTEX community is....

My message to the Nytex Hockey Community would be a simple one, have fun. Whether you play in the Bronze, Silver, or even Gold Leagues, its all just for fun. If someone says something that offends you just shake it off, and move on. Were out here to have a little fun, get some exercise, and hang out with our friends if you cant do that perhaps chess is more your sport.


And one more thing, remember kids, DON’T JAR.
