How did you get into Hockey? "Canadian school friend, when I was around his house in 1985, I watched some games of hockey on TV. Though net minding looked fun and with his dad being a goalie coach, he took shots at me thinking I'd change my mind, instead, I loved it and was on ice ever since."

 

Best Moment in Hockey: "Anytime I see players that I've coached, be it on ice or ball, do well and improve their game.

When Mick dropped me a message in 2009 to get back into "Street Hockey" and guest for the Wolves at a tournament in Rotherham and Rob ok'd me to play. Without that message and opportunity, I wouldn't have been lucky enough to be allowed to come and train with the Wolves and make the friends I have since.

Also winning anything is always good. "

 

Worst Moment in Hockey: "Broke both my legs, back and pelvis in 1999 which meant I had to take 8 months off and again in 2004, shattering my left leg meaning I couldn't play for another 4 months. Any game lost stings too."
