Nick Brain's phobias are relatively minor compared to the average population. However, there are a few that give "Big Dick Nick" a case of the night terrors. One is fear of paralysis. In certain dreams there are moments where you see bad things happen in front of you, but can't run forward or do anything physically to prevent it from happening. Not to mention, Nick has a general fear of being paralyzed for real and being rendered unable to do the athletic stuff hes come to be known for in the world of hockey (let alone living a "normal" life being able to sit, stand, or do whatever mundane physical activity you want.)

Another sorta weird Nick Brain phobia is fear of sitting on animals. Nick takes great care whenever going to the house of a teammate or friend who has a pet not to accidentally sit on it, especially if its something like a cat that can burrow into a couch and be inconspicuous when you go to sit down without really looking.
