Special thank you to Eric Lindquist and Mike Moore for this opportunity. Enjoy.
Entering your fourth season with the Worcester Sharks
and second consecutive season as team captain, how do you feel this
year’s squad compares with past squads?
Not taking anything away from last year’s team, but this
year, we have a group of guys like we had in my second season
{2009-10}. The guys are a close knit group
and I could see it from the start when I came down from San
Jose. The guys are always going out
together in groups, having fun together in a good way, and have
each other’s backs. There is a sense
of camaraderie really present that wasn’t missing last year
but is even stronger this year. It’s
good to come back and see that.
How did you first become interested in
hockey?
Growing up in Canada, the winters were long and
cold. My old man would flood the grass
between the house and garage, and even though it wasn’t a big
area, I learned to skate there. Just like
the classic story of the Staal brothers on their outside rink, it
was the same deal with my brothers as my family was a hockey
family. We enjoyed getting out there and
playing, and hockey was something on the TV all the
time. My younger brother Kris is a freshman
at Western Michigan University and is one of three goalies on the
team.
