Born - 9 / 10 / 69 - Philadelphia, PA
Height - 6' 2" Weight - 185 lbs.

Profile :
A long-time street hockey star, Chris joined the Sasquatch prior to the 1999 Spring season and quickly earned two championship trophies.. He earned the nicknames " turnstile ", "turnpike" or "tollbooth" (take your choice) because of the way players go through him at times. He may loose those names this year due to modern technology and the advent of "E-Z pass". Actually, Chris is an intelligent, defensive, defenseman whom goaltenders like because he always makes the safe, smart play. After deciding to sit out the 2000-2001 season due to a lower back injury, Chris has decided to return to action and proclaimed himself to be 100% healthy. He will start the season as the Sasquatches 7th defenseman and will have to work hard to move up on the talented Sasquatch defensive corps, but management has said that they did not sign Chris to sit on the bench and expect him to perform.
Career Highlights :
Two of his three career goals are on the power play
Assisted on the overtime game-winning goal in an 8-7 win over the Lushes 11/28/99
Had a strong 1999-2000 playoff campaign, solidifying his spot on the blue line for 2001-2002
Strengths :
What he lacks in skating he makes up for with smarts, always making the right play at the right time
A defensive defenseman, Chris gets the puck out of the defensive zone quickly
An underrated passer and offensive player
Weaknesses :
Chris could be a complete player if he could improve his skating
He is injury prone, missing most of the 1999-2000 season with a freak jet-ski ass injury
Needs to speak up at games so people know he's there
