A lifelong season ticket holder for the Regina Pats. His fascination with the Pats became an obsession at around 16-years of age when he stumbled across an old published list of ALL-TIME REGINA PATS SCORING and GOALTENDING. The list that was published was incomplete and that was not acceptable to him. Over the last 20-plus years, he has done what he can to finish that list and continues to try to complete the history of the Pats. He is an unofficial Pats historian.
