First Hockey Memory: "Out in my backyard, four years old, with my brother (Fred), who was a lot older than me and Hank Bassen, the old Detroit Red Wing, Chicago Black Hawk and the first draft pick of the old Pittsburgh Penguins, they had me out there; shooting frozen tennis balls at me. I remember them bouncing off my head and they really stung. And when you're four you start to whimper a bit. And my brother said, ‘If you cry I'll kick your butt harder than these tennis balls are.’ So that's my first memory (smiles)."

Hockey Inspirations: "Hank Bassen and Glenn Hall."
