GMSHL.com - How many years have you played in the league?
I think this is season 21 for me (began in 91'). Started as a Camaro with Darryl Ducommun and John Manning behind the bench (some things never change). We lost in Triple OT that year to Adams/Ashton. I also remember being a rookie at the Trade Deadline, some other rookie on our team got moved in the Draft. I think his name was Andrew Williams. I also have a fuzzy memory of Ted Lang knocking me into next week in one game.

GMSHL.com - Do you have any pre-game rituals/superstitions?
Send out the pre-game Orange email, catch at nap at my desk, chicken/pasta, Jergens on the night stand. That's about it.

GMSHL.com - Who's your favourite team and player? (any league and/or sport)
Johnny Bench - Big Red Machine
Bobby Orr - Big Bad Bruins
Bob Dosanjh - 12 Forwards

GMSHL.com - If you could be any other player for a game, who would it be?
Zack Zelzer - ZZ Top sees more open net than a Cod fisherman in Newfoundland. I also want to hear what is on his iPod.

GMSHL.com - What's your favourite and/or least favourite GMSHL moment?
So many great times. Love this league. Great Dressing Room every year, Mark Cawker chalk talks, OT winners, Cold Beer at a reasonable price, commissioners throwing guys out of the Polish Banquet Hall, SuperRef ;-/ , hearing the old timers talk about 2 cases in the room after the game, Gainey's Armoire, being 10 feet away from a train wreck collision between Sarmatiuk/Mason, Ticknor lying down on a Penalty Shot, Bailey going 'up the middle', losing underwear, stitches in Emerg at 2:00am, Hawrylow!!, McVeigh!!, The Civic, REM's Orange Crush blasting in the GMC, getting two unknown rookies named Titterton and Gautama on my line, meeting so many great guys every year........
