He believes the
four best forwards
in the MMJHL are
Faulkner, Rybuck,
Mathews and Burmey.
“Faulkner is big and
strong and has the
ability to change the
tempo of any game,”
he said. “Rybuck is a
great playmaker who
battles hard every
shift. Burmey is a
dangerous player
who is awesome
on the power
play. Mathews is
a great leader
who is very
hard to play
against.”

The best
defenseman
is Gravel, “He
has been for
years. He’s the most
reliable D-Man in the
league and makes
the best passes
through the neutral
zone of any player.”

New York, New York
and My Way, and I
hope to one day live
in New York or Los
Angeles because those
cities have so much
to offer and those
cities never sleep.”
His favourite NHL
team is the Los
Angeles Kings, but
his all-time favorite
player was always
Pavel Datsyuk. He just
might be the MMJHL’s
version of Datsyuk.
The most
influential people
in his hockey life
are his Triple A
Coach Brad Chambers
and his dad. “Coach
Chambers taught
me a lot of things
about hockey, but the
one person who has
impacted most is my
Dad. He’s taught me
about being a good
person and I credit him
for everything I know.”
