Profile :
Winning the job by default at the start of the 1998-1999 season, Frank has become the teams steadiest performer. After leading his team to the 1999 Spring League Championship, Frank decided to play a year in Europe to be closer to German beer, Swedish women and his boyhood idol, Pelle Eklund. He returned for the 2000-2001 season in the best shape of his life and had 13 wins en route to his second championship trophy. Deciding he no longer posessed the desire to play hockey until all hours of the night, Frank announced his retirement just prior to the 2001-2002 season leaving the Sasquatch looking to sign a free-agent stop-gap. Team members wish him good luck and hope he finds his fire inside quickly and returns to the team.
Career Highlights :
Faced 36 shots, to go along with an assist and a penalty, in beating Campbell's Soup at the First Union Spectrum
Had a shutout 7/14/99 vs. the Mercenaries, making 22 saves
Had a playoff shutout in the series clinching game 4/7/99 vs. the Flip Mode Squad, stopping 22 shots
Strengths :
A positional goalie, Frank uses his body well to cut down a shooters angle
Has a deceptively quick glove hand
Like a third defenseman, he can handle the puck well
Uses the "Palmateer" save perfectly
Weaknesses :
Never a strong skater, Frank at times has trouble with his lateral movement
Practically blind, Frank sometimes plays with only one contact lense, sometimes none
Has been using someone elses goalie pads since 1989
We won't mention the number of times he has shown up intoxicated
