I've always loved hockey, from the first stories from my dad about Dave "The Hammer" Schultz to actually watching a few games in person you could say I was born to love the sport. I started skating as soon as I could, which my parents tell me is around 3 or 4. As I got older, I would play football in the summer to keep active and fit and of course strong and come back to Hockey as soon as the first bit of fall chill hit the air. It got harder obviously in high school when I was a dual caliber player and eventually I did have to choose one or the other but I am glad I stuck with Hockey. I made it to the show, I've won two Gold Medals and a Challenge Cup and I've got to play with some of the guys I used to idolize on TV.

What could be better than that?
