What is your favourite place in Oil Country and why?
The Zamboni tunnel at Rogers place

As a fan, what's your favourite Oilers memory?
Nail Yakupov's knee slide goal celebration in 2013. It was the first time I had the chance to sit in club seats as an adult. The Oilers scored to tie the game with 30 seconds left, but it was called off controversially. Then just as I was standing up to leave with 4 seconds left, we tie the game and won it in overtime. The celebration was electric! I saw myself behind the glass on Sportsnet later that night. Still have it recorded somewhere.

As a part of the 2023-24 Orange & Blue Ice Crew, what are you most looking forward to?
Being apart of the excitement of the new season, meeting new people and keeping that ice smooth and crispy, all while watching my favourite team play.

What is your greatest achievement?
I had the opportunity to work all 84 games in the NHL bubble in 2020. A once in a lifetime experience, that was truly unique. I also got the chance to play baseball in the Canada summer games

What is an interesting fact about you?
Usually I say this job when asked this question. It’s a pretty unique position. But I also like to buy and sell classic cars. I’ve had around 17 of them. A lot of fun to drive in the summertime.

What's your favourite part about attending or working an Oilers Home Game?
Being a part of planning and executing pre game ceremonies has become something I really enjoy and look forward to. All the intricate details and planning that go into it. It’s quite rewarding when everything goes smoothly on the ice. But the very best part is picking up the hats when someone scores a hat trick. It’s rare but the atmosphere and excitement is the best.
