Best Hockey Moment: My first goal - Feb 1997.  Game winner vs. the Hurricanes w/ 30 seconds left.  Backhand shot from the face-off circle - it went top shelf!  I have no idea how I did that - at the time, I could barely stand up on my skates!

Most Embarrassing Hockey Moment: There are waaaay too many to list here. But, most of them seem to involve me skating backwards into the goal. Or shooting the puck into my own net. Or tripping over the blue line. Or, or, or, or......

Best Hockey Advice Ever Heard:  "We are trying to get the puck in THAT goal.  Over THERE!"

Words to Live By: "Only you can prevent hockey stick fires."
