Who are some of your favorite NHL players (past or present) ?
Cristobal Huet is my idol, he came from a non hockey country as well and made it to the NHL..  Ee also plays and amazing game.  Favorite player would be Ovechkin. So exciting to watch, He's just unreal.  I was a big Eric Lindros fan back in the day, in my eyes his all-round play is a shoe in for a hall of fame.

Who do you think your playing style resembles in the NHL?
I build my style after Cristobal Huet.

Do you think fighting belongs in hockey?
Yes for sure.. I think its a great twist to the game as long as fighters can still play

Throw the trapezoid so far out in the ocean that nobody would ever find it again...

I would say my biggest assets are quickness, positioning and my mental game.. but if I had to point at one it would be my mental strength and ability to focus.

What do you think needs improvement in your game?
All of it.. I need to take my whole game and be able to do it at an NHL level.  If I can do that I will be alright.

Who is the toughest player to play against (and why) ?
I think if there is anyone that challenges me more right now I think it would be Kaspars Daugavins from Mississauga. He's got a great shot and he's got a quick release that has surprised me a couple of times..

On the IceDogs roster, who would you say is the most funny / biggest prankster?
Maione should do stand-up.. I sit next to him and he's an entertainer.

Mississauga no doubt.
