Over the years I have been fortunate enough to play in two great leagues. I have also been on some great, and some not so great teams. This section is dedicated to all the teams and both leagues I've ever been a part of.
Leagues

CEWHA - Calgary Division
I played in Calgary from 1990-1993. I started off as a scared 9 year old playing with people in their late teens and early twenties. When I left in 1993 I was confident and more aggressive. Thankfully during my time in the CEWHA I got to play with some of the greatest wheelchair hockey players of all time including Steve Shelvy, Larry Miller and Todd Mitchell. I also won my only championship to date, during my time here.

WCHL - Michigan
I joined the WCHL in 1998 after moving back to Canada after spending 5 years in England. I have seen the league grow from a small group of friends to a 40+ player, 5 team league. I have enjoyed helping younger players grow and helping the league grow into a nationaly known league.
Teams

The Motley Crew - Calgary Division
The Motley Crew was my first ever wheelchair hockey team. I was only 9 years old when I started and I was terrified. As the year progressed I turned into quite an aggressive defenseman and helped my team win the League Championship. Ten years later it is still the only hockey championship I have won. I played for The Motley Crew during the 1990-91 season.

The Penguins - Calgary Division
The 1991-92 season saw the CEHWA get "real" jerseys donated to them. We used to have to play in thick sweatshirts and they were not the most attractive things on earth, along with being boiling hot to wear. The league got to choose four NHL team jerseys so we chose. Chicago Blackhawks, Calgary Flames, Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. We also got to choose our own number, of course I chose #66 right?? Wrong!! I didn't know a thing about hockey and I didn't even know about Mario at thie time, so I chose #25, my favourite number. It turned out that Kevin Stevens wore #25 for the Penguins and he wasnt't such a bad player after all.

The Flames - Calgary Division
Before the 1991-92 season started I was traded from the Penguins (formerly Motley Crew) to the Flames. I spent two season with the Flames, being the worst team in 91-92, to making the finals in 92-93. I got to play with (in my opinion) the greatest wheelchair hockey player ever during my final year with the Flames...Steve Shelvey. I also won "Most Improved Player" when I went from being a defenseman to a goalie.

The Cobras - Michigan Division
I joined the Cobras during my first year in the WCHL. I was a member of the team for three years. I had great personal success as a Cobra, learning how to be a skilled Left Winger. We also had team success making it to the finals in my second year. During those playoffs I was part of a thrilling triple-overtime win to make it into the finals. After three years with the same core of players, I felt that I wanted a change so I requested to move teams.

The Seals - Michigan Division
In 2001-02 I joined the Seals. I look forward to a long and successful run with the Seals. In 2002-03 I was voted the captain of the Seals.
