Q: You’ve committed to skate with the Boston University Terriers in the NCAA next season. How did that choice come about?
A: Boston had been watching me for the past couple of years. It’s a place I always wanted to go to. As a top-rated school, it’s a dream for a lot of kids to go there, luckily it came through for me.
Q: What do you plan on studying?
A: I want to get into business education, but I’ll just generalize going into next year.
Q: Grizzlies part-owner Len Barrie has since become a part-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team that drafted you n 2007. Did you know Len before?
A: I met him when I first came to the Grizzlies. I was pleased to hear Len bought the team, but it doesn’t change anything, it’s just part of hockey. Tampa (ownership) was looking to sell there team and Len was interested, people buy stuff.
