How did you start to play ice hockey?
I have been playing inline since I was eight years old. I started playing on ice about three years ago and it was a natural transition. Since then, I've worked hard to make sure I'm at my best for Perth Thunder.
Who are your Ice Hockey influences/role models and why?
Steve Yzerman is my idea of the perfect hockey role model. More recently I'd consider Steven Stamkos and Jamie Benn as solid influences to my game.
Do you have any techniques/skills that enable you to perform better on the ice?
I'm learning to use my size to my advantage, and I've always taken pride in shooting.
What do you do besides Ice Hockey in your spare time?
I still play inline hockey and will represent Australia at the IIHF World Inline Hockey Champs later this year. Otherwise, I have three jobs and study full-time at university so it's not hard for me to keep busy away from the rink.
How did you hear about Perth Thunder and what made you want to play for them?
It was big news in the hockey community in WA for years. When the team was officially sanctioned by the AIHL, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
Which AIHL team do you think has the most chance of winning the Goodall Cup in 2013 (besides Thunder)?
Melbourne Ice obviously have a good thing going, but a lot of people are also talking about the Sydney Ice Dogs this year.
Anything else you would like to share?
I really hope I don't go through $2000 worth of sticks this year.
