Profile :
Tony is the co-founder and longtime captain of the Sasquatch. He recently handed over the captaincy to Mike Gaynor and was quoted as saying he thought that the pressure of being the captain was affecting his game. He still shares the GM duties with Gaynor and continues to keep his salary low in an effort to afford more quality players under the cap. Tony vacillates between being the teams goalie and a front line forward, both with equally positive results. After a decent 2008 Spring campaign as a goaltender, Tony returned to the offense for the 2008-2009 season, but it was obvious early on that the layoff had taken its toll on his offensive skills. After having his best offensive totals ever in his previous full season as a forward, it took 7 or 8 games for his game to return to previous levels. Although on the downside of his career, some wondered in the media if it was time to hang them up for the long-time Sasquatch leader. No doubt that his creep towards 40 and the stiff competition that season had much to do with his level of play also. His offensive numbers may have slipped a bit, but Tony continues to be the on-ice emotional leader of the team and battles hard night in and night out despite the competition or the score. He has served this team well over the years and has publicly stated that he would never waive his no-trade clause and play for another team. He plans to enter the Hall-of-Fame as a Sasquatch lifer.
Career Highlights :
Garnered the first-star honors at the first Spectrum game with 2 goals and 3 assists, including the GWG

Strengths :

Weaknesses :
What?? You think I'm gonna write something negative about myself?? Fuhgeddaboudit !!
