1.  I only joined the eligible player pool after the draft.  I am excited to have been able to field offers from the various teams in the league.  It has helped me get a feel for some of the camaraderie around here.

 

2.  "If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man.  You win some, lose some it's all the same to me!"  -RIP Lemmy
pick a different verse to get fired up between periods

7.  I grew up with a rink in the backyard, like a lot of kids.  Dad worked maintenance for the civic in Walker, so when we had real games, i could go early, and stay as late as I wanted.  Dad was all for it.

8.  A smart defender.  I'm not he biggest guy, or the fastest, or the strongest, but i like to think I get to the right spots on the sheet when i need to make things happen.

9.  Smell the air.  It's so different than the last few stops Ive had in Wabasha, Owatonna, Bannf, you name it.  This place is so warm.  I wont be moving any of my winter stuff here.

10.  My dad was a recovering alcoholic, and i never really got into drinking myself.  I think im gonna go with the gold medalists and say Milk.

Thanks for the opportunity to play with the Aces.  I look forward to showing my skills off in the desert and being a part of something special.
