This type of player interaction is long overdue !!

I used to listen to Scott Metcalf every Friday am on the Wease show and I felt that in the past few seasons not having players on the air really hurt the team in more ways than people think. Lets hope this type of interview is a weekly event.

players weren't too visible or audible last year becuz we didn't like them and they didn't like us.

Maybe they just didn't want to be visible being part of the worst hockey team in the league. Which may be the case this year too...

I listened, sounds like a nice guy. He is from a small town in Brock Sask of about 200 people so seems down to earth. He also said the Panthers contacted him right away. He stated he can't wait to get here. He did say the first person he ever fought in the AHL was Denis Bonvie. He lives in Charlotte N.C. right now. He played there for the Checkers for a couple of seasons
