BIO: It would be incorrect to say that the Pirates
gelled as a team since Brian joined the Wednesday roster. Sure, they have
picked up two Championship trophies in that time, but they also lost a few.
It would also be incorrect to state that Brian has the most-feared slapshot
in the league (perhaps in his dreams he does), but definately not in the league.
Brian, who never likes to talk about himself or blow his own horn, is probably
best known for his face-off acumen. It is reported that he once played an
entire game without losing a faceoff (though no one really knows if this is
true or just one of those hockey myths). Stan Fishler reported
in his most recent book, The Hockey Bible: Rollerhockey Edition,
that Brian is vastly under rated when it comes to his stick work. Unselfish
with the puck, he always looks to feed his linemates before taking a shot
himself. According to Fishler (page 23), If it wasnt for that
fact that there are so many players out there that are better then him he
would be playing in the NHL right now. Besides his contributions to
the team on the floor, Brian writes the Wednesday night edition
of the Coastal Pirate Newsletter. Equally at home navigating the
keyboard as skating around defenseman, Brian provides a weekly overview of
the events of the team and provides both encouragement and constructive criticism
to all those who sit on the Pirate bench.
