George: Welcome to the show, and lets begin with this.. who was that first player when you joined the league that caught your eye? the one you wanted to emulate your game after, the person who's success you coveted on or off the ice, the one you first admired, and why?.. let us know a little about that."

Dom: My mom grew up in Boston, so I've been a fan of the New England Wolfpack since before I could talk. I started skating around the same time the Wolfpack were on their wild cup run. I don't remember season 30 that well, but in season 31 in the playoffs, I saw Mia Landvik ( @Jenny ) slam someone into the boards, I don't even remember who, and that was kind of it for me as a future defenseman. She came into the league in season 30 and already had two cups before season 32, so I thought that was pretty cool as a kid, even though it's obviously a team effort. I liked watching Nathan Russell as well, who was captain my entire childhood, but Mia Landvik just really put the fear into the other team, and even though that's not the kind of defenseman I am, she's a player you can count on, on and off the ice, and even in her final season, she's at a point per game or more right now, I think? So she's definitely someone I've loved watching since I was a kid and even now as I've been given the chance to hopefully one day play in the SHL. It's a shame it won't be against her ever, but maybe she'll come out of retirement for a game or two in Boston, you know?
