For Big Bud’s, as some people call him, first season in the SMJHL, he is looking for the excitement of playing his first professional hockey season. He knows as you go up the ranks, it gets harder to wheel on the ice, but easier off. His main goal is to pounds some Buds with the boys and wheel them big city slams. On the ice, his three goals are to lay some lumber, chip in some apples, and get PAID. His first goal is to finish top 10 in hits per game with at least four and possibly send two guys to the hospital. Next, he is all about the boys, so he wants to chipin the apples after some dirty sauces with about 1 apple every other game. His final expectation includes playing a good enough year to sign a big ticket. As for the team, he hopes to play on a competitive playoff team with the championship as the primary goal. Bud says, “If you ain’t first, your last.”
