I am originally from Maine where my father moved to from Montreal when he was young. My grandfather Antoine was a huge habs fan and when I was a boy I would watch games in French with him. I played youth hockey until I was 16 in Maine. At age 17 I joined the U.S. Army and spent 24 years of active duty service traveling around the globe defending freedom . At age 38 I picked up the game again when I made the wonderful discovery that the base (Fort Bragg) had an ice rink. I still play in the adult league and teach skills with my son Luc's team (The East Coast Eagles) which is based in Raleigh North Carolina. Tough being a Habs fan down here when everyone asks if I am a Cubs fan when they see the CH.
