We’re going to go back a few years. I was a 16-year-old playing for the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Hockey League (WHL). It was the second round of the playoffs. We were up against Kamloops who was the top team in the league. This was an elimination game for us.Â
Kamloops was up in the series 4 games to 0 and it was the best 5 out of 9. Yes, you heard correct: best 5 out of 9. My goalie partner Ian Wood, who had a previous spectacular playoff series and defeated New Westminster in 9 games, started the game. He was tired, struggled and pulled after three goals and I got the call.

If we didn’t win this game we would be eliminated from playoff contention and our season would be over.

Good day I was wondering if you will make available the Pete Fry seminar?
Love this one. When I’m at my best, i tend to chirp the most and be the most arrogant of my games. It annoys some of my own team but in the end, it is when I’m feeling the best at my game and fuck them if they don’t like it. Because in the end, I’m producing results and i think it may also do with me being more competitive in nature in the division of beer league I’m playing. Next season I’ll switch teams or try and move up in division
