When I was approached about becoming a big brother for this program, I was kind of taken aback. I still look at myself as a young player in this league, but after some converstaion with others, decided maybe I did have what it takes to mentor a young kid coming up into the league. I chose to team up with Calgary Dragons future superstar sensation, Esa Parmborg. Esa has some big shoes to fill as evidence by his other mentor, Esa Anrikkannen and I just wanted to try and take some of that stress off of him and allow him to become his own player. We started the night out like any other in the Big Parm, just a bit of light skating and a few drills to kind of break the ice. After that I decided we needed to blow off some steam and get to know one another, out on the town we went. We went to the local watering hole and of course, Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Smeb, Kata Vilde and Mike Izzy were all around a table absolutely plastered. I wanted to try and ease Parmborg into the team and this was not the best way of doing that, needless to say, we ended up at the table with them. What happened that night? That's another story.
