• Played his minor hockey with the California Wave, the Ventura Mariners and the L.A. Junior Kings.

• Got his start in hockey on roller blades at the age of five after his dad’s friend brought him to a game – “I fell in love."

• His most memorable hockey moment was winning a national championship with the California Wave when he was 16.

• He wears his mom’s favorite number 20 and he patterns his game after Nicklas Lidstrom.

• If he could invite any three people to dinner he would choose: Herb Brooks, Scotty Bowman, and Bobby Orr to learn from them.

• If he wasn’t playing hockey he would be a wake boarder or a surfer and the one thing he couldn’t live without is his hockey stick.
