Q: Who is your favourite hockey player & why?
A: Has to be Sidney Crosby. He’s the most complete player in the league, I think. His edges, his strength, you know, he’s so complete as a player.
Q: What type of music do you listen to?
A: I usually listen to a bit of a mix of rap and, you know, country. Or, yeah, those two genres are my main genres. But, yeah, I dabble in different music genres all the time.
Q: What are some of your pre-game rituals?
A: I have a very strict stretching routine before every game. And I listen to the same songs over and over before every game. So, it’s like a routine. Very strict.

A: Ever since a young age when I (was) shown it by my dad, you know, I’ve loved like the camaraderie that you have with your teammates. You know, the fun that you have, you know, it’s all about that. Having fun with your teammates and making new friends, you know, that’s the part that I love about it.

Q: As a hockey player, what do you think you’ll bring to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan team?
A: I think I’ll bring a big size, big frame to the hockey team. You know, I’m not like other tall guys who are not the best skaters. Ever since a young age I’ve practiced my skating. That’s probably my strongest attribute. That’s what I thrive in. So, I’ll bring good skating to the team, and you know, good hard work.

Q: Do you have any other hobbies outside of hockey and if yes, what would they be?
A: I love hanging out with friends and playing sports with them. I play basketball, I play football with them at the local park. You know, I love hanging out with them. That’s probably my hobby, hanging out with friends.
Q: Tell us a little bit about your hometown and your minor hockey experience.
A: I lived in Montreal, Verdun. It’s a tight community. So, you know, it’s a tight hockey community. So, when I was young, I always wanted to play there. It was very important for my development like to start there. You know, if I didn’t there where would I be now? You know, maybe I wouldn’t be here.
