• Faced the second most shots (1875), among WHL goaltenders in 2007-08, behind Portland Winter Hawks' goaltender Kurtis Mucha (1897). In 64 games, he won 25 games, posted one shutout and finished 15th in the league with a .908 save-percentage.

• Patterns his game after Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury but also tries to take something from a lot of different goaltenders to create his own style.

• His most memorable hockey moment was his first game with Saskatoon, "It was a dream of mine, since I was about five, to play for the Blades."  

• His dad, Greg, was a goaltender for the Saskatoon Blades and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies and he wears number 1 after his father.

• Got his start in hockey on the backyard rink that his dad built, "I always watched my dad when he played goal and I wanted to be just like him".  

• His first hockey team was the Lashburn Flyers and he played his minor hockey with Lashburn (1994-03) and Lloydminster (2003-05).

• Credits his parents for having had the most influence on his career "they have been tremendously supportive and have both taught me everything I know about life and hockey."  

• The best advice he ever received was a quote by Victor Hugo written on a plaque given to him by his grandparents.  "There is nothing like a dream to create the future."

• If he could invite any three people to dinner he would choose: Marc-Andre Fleury, "he is my favorite goalie and he always seems to have a good time", Sidney Crosby, "it's amazing how he handles himself in the spotlight and how he plays with so much passion" and Taylor Swift, "I love her music".

• His most embarrassing hockey moment was his first WHL game in Red Deer, "right before the national anthem a guy yells out the goalie's name and the whole crowd yells sucks after. I went out to the hash marks and tripped and fell right as the crowd was yelling it".

•  If he wasn't playing hockey he would be playing baseball and if he could be in any one movie he would want to be Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy.
