First started after watching a few mates play back in high school. I originally started figure skating, how embarrassing.

Recently I have followed Jarome Iginla like a bad rash as he has a great mix of good hands and strong body influence. Some of the defensive work I have seen lately has been great to watch.

As I am a short guy, a low centre of gravity is a good asset for ice hockey, I tend to throw my body around a little more than average, but as a defenseman this is a good thing.

Besides working and getting out on the boat whenever we have a bye or off season, hockey takes up most of my time. Off season has me at festivals and spending time at Rottnest Island with the family. Love jet skis and usually look forward to hanging out with the boys and seeing the girlfriend of course.

A few years back we started Perth Thunder as a West Australian state team development platform, so I’ve been involved from the start and have enjoyed creating and being involved with this great team.

Well Melbourne Ice is always a power house, but to throw things around the table a bit, I see Newcastle doing some damage soon. Always find them scoring some great imports and they have a great structure.

Good luck to the team this year and can’t wait to share some wins with the boys.
