Born & raised in North Battleford he now calls Lloydminster home. He played 4 years for the Prince George Cougars, spent 3 1/2 seasons in the East Coast & finally came back to Lloydminster where he would help the Border Kings capture the 2007 Allan Cup. Although a Calgary Flames fan had an absolute blast with Aaron. I should point out his draft year he was ranked in the top 125 by central scouting and his story about how he was not entered into the NHL entry draft will stop you in your tracks. Enjoy.

Born in Mayfair SK, he played his minor hockey in North Battleford before heading to the Moose Jaw Warriors at the age of 15. He spent 5 years in the WHL which culminated in WHL championship with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He spent two years playing CIS with the U of S Huskies and then headed down south 5 years in the ECHL.

Played 3 years of pro for the Wichita Thunder which ended with a trip to the CHL finals with the Colorado Eagles. Since being back in Lloydminster he has been a volunteer Assistant coach with the Lloydminster Bobcats. Had a blast sitting down with Kris and his perspective on life overall was a treat to listen to for a couple of hours. Enjoy 

The brothers back at it again. We discussed: NHL Trade Deadline, Kassian Kick, Houston Astros, XFL & more.

Originally from North Battleford SK. Greg was undrafted but found a way onto the Red Deer Rebels. He spent 3 seasons there putting up back to back seasons of 90+ points.

He won a Kelly Cup while with South Carolina and talks of the journey & shenanigans that happen in life in the minor leagues. He finally spent 8 years playing in Germany where both of his kids ended up starting school & playing their sports. FInally he gives a lot of credit to his wife Sarah who all through his journey was by his side. Pretty cool story. Thanks again Greg.

He spent time with the Saskatoon Blades, Swift Current Broncos & finally the Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL. With Moose Jaw he set a team record with 70 goals in 71 games. He was drafted 52 overall by the Hartford Whalers in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. He was also selected in two different expansion drafts first by the Ottawa Senators in 1992 & then by the Nashville Predators in 1998.
