OVERSEAS EXPERIENCE
He spent around five years playing for clubs in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands after he turned professional and says the experience of competing in European hockey leagues benefited him. "As a Canadian who has gone over there, you're taking the spot of someone in that club's youth system or maybe a local player. You have to show your value and you have a little extra pressure. That's good. It hardens you as a player. In the end it becomes a good thing for Canada. We get players who spend their time there and come back a stronger player because of it."

COACHING
He has worked as a hockey coach at the West Vancouver club. (LinkedIn profile, 21 Mar 2016)
