Q: If you had to pick an NHL’er that you resemble on the ice, who would it be?
A: Marian Hossa. I’m not sure exactly why.

Q: Favorite hockey memory?
A: Senior season of high school. Mostly because we finished 10th in the state of Illinois, but also because of the group of guys we had on the team as well as we were able to beat (freshman) Joey Gurgone’s Fenwick Friars
Q: Favorite Butler Hockey memory?
A: First home game against IUPUI—it was cool to see all the support we got and see the beginning of something special.
