Description
Born and raised in St.John’s, Newfoundland. I am currently living near Edmonton. I have been a Toronto Maple Leafs supporter since I was little; 13X Stanley Cup Champions. I really got into the sport when I started watching the Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada each Saturday with my pop when I was about 6 or 7. Having the Leafs farm team in St.John’s when I was growing up also helped my growing passion for the Blue and White. I know we will win another cup, My biggest fear is that I may be dead when we do. – “Practice is cancelled tomorrow. No one else left to beat.” – sign posted in Team Canada dressing room after winning the 2004 World Cup of Hockey—HOCKEY IS OUR GAME—18X World Champions, 14X World Junior Champions, 7X Olympic Champions, 6X Summit Series/Canada Cup/World Cup Champions—WE ARE THE GOLD STANDARD—

Music
Bob Marley is a legend! I’ll listen to anything If I think it sounds good. I am more into the hard, modern and classic rock. Country music is a non-factor because it sucks (Minus Johnny Cash). I hate country, but Carrie Underwood is hot as hell. Irish-Newfoundland tunes are a must when enjoying a couple drinks!
Books
Anything hockey or footy related or even a good autobiography. The Hockey News or FourFourTwo are the only real hockey and soccer magazines though. My favorite hockey writers are Stephen Brunt from the Globe & Mail and Pierre LeBrun, formerly of Canadian Press and Rogers Sportsnet but now with ESPN.com
Movies
Harold & Kumar, Cheech & Chong, Dazed and Confused.. You get the drift. Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Scarface, The Big Lebowski, Remember the Titans, Happy Gilmore, The Rocket, The Breakfast Club, Boyz ‘N The Hood, Angela’s Ashes, Fight Club, American History X, Severance, 300, Ong-Bak, Miracle, Going the Distance, EuroTrip, Football Factory, Green Street Hooligans, Forrest Gump, Rush Hour Trilogy, Saw Trilogy, Slapshot, any National Lampoon movie and anything from Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington, Will Ferrell, and Jackie Chan. I love alot of different genres as you can see.
Other interests
Watching the Senators, Sabres, Habs, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham lose. Who doesn’t like seeing Sean Avery getting his arse kicked?.. Hardcore Sports Radio (Sirius Ch.98), GoTFC.ca, Basketball, UFC, Formula 1 (McLaren-Mercedes), spending time with family and friends, travelling, and kickin’ it with a cold Molson Canadian Lager.

Congratulations
Good game last night. It’s clear Ron Wilson has the team pointed in the right direction. They completely bottled the Wings up in the middle, and held them off for the win. Well done.
