Darnell Johnson has a fear of swimming on the surface of open water. Swimming in a pool? Fine. Diving/snorkeling in open water? Fine. But swimming on the open water? Treading water without a clue of what's beneath you? Bobbing there like a seal ready to get blasted from below by a Great White shark, an apex predator with a hundred million years of evolutionary head start designed specifically to torpedo up from below at speeds approaching 60+ miles per hour? No thanks. Darnell's fear of the open water probably stems from that time he stole the movie Open Water out of his parent's dvd case when he was a kid and watched a bunch of people get eaten by sharks in a "found footage" style movie (Interestingly that movie was re-released in theaters on his 11th birthday). Lucky for Darnell, he's pretty in control over whether or not he gets to interact with this particular phobia.

François' biggest fear, even on top of needles, is objects too close to his eyes. The fear originated in 2nd grade, when one of his classmates was a little too eager about the planned field trip and was throwing her arms around excitedly. The teacher told everyone to head back to their chairs, and as she ran past François' desk, the paper that she was flinging around came up and gave his eye a papercut. The pain was excruciating, and he spent the rest of the day in the nurses office, with a damp cloth over his eye. As François grew up, he eventually started to need glasses, and the appointments haunted him every time. Once he reached an age where chirps became frequent, he decided he had enough of his sports glasses and opted for contacts. It took him 4 appointments to finally brave his phobia, with him blacking out during the first 3, he finally managed. To this day, contacts are the only thing that he's willing to let near his eyes, and he still has trouble with those.

Anthony Archer has developed a fear of having hits reversed on him. Archer has became well known for his physical and throwing the body around sort of play style as he develops through juniors, however after his appearance in the Four Star Cup finals against the Vancouver Whalers, Anthony Archer went full stride for a hit into along the boards that was reversed onto him. Ever since that day, Anthony has thought twice about the targets he places hits on, and lies awake at night as he replays the sequence of events through his head, followed by the loud cheers of the Vancouver fans. The roaring "ooooh"s of the crowd echo through his mind as he tries to fall asleep at night, hoping tonight he won't have another nightmare about trying to throw hits in the SHL and constantly being reversed on. Anthony Archer would later go on to see a therapist.

Alexei suffers from acute cases of Wiccaphobia and Alektorophobia two very different fears but oddly enough both are connected for Alexei. One can easily blame his mother Sophia for this phobia for when Alexei was a young child and would misbehave his mother would threaten to leave him outside for Baba Yaga to capture him. She made it quite clear if he didn’t finish chores or do his homework before he went out to play hockey that the old crone would capture the young boy and eat him alive and that he could not outrun the old woman as her house on chicken legs would outrun the boy and leave him to die tired. Now poor Alexei feels the need to pommel any old woman that gets too close and has been known to abstain from chicken occasionally before games in some tongue in cheek hope of not angering the old woman.
