Hockey has always been a big part of my life as is the case for most people growing up in Montreal. One of my earliest childhood memories is going to the old Montreal Forum with my father one afternoon and meeting Jean Beliveau. When he shook my hand it left an impression that is vivid to this day. Today I still enjoy lacing up the blades, the locker room banter and the adrenaline rush from playing the game. I have been fortunate to have played with and against many former pros and have made great friends through my association with hockey which I consider the most exciting sport in the world.
