What is the best part about being on the Eye Care Associates Storm Squad?
Being able to interact with the best fans in the NHL – Caniac Nation!

What game are you most excited about in the 2009-2010 season?
I am really looking forward to playing some of the teams we don’t normally get to, like the Blackhawks (Jan. 30) or the Coyotes (Mar. 13).

What is your favorite color of Starburst?
Let’s be honest – strawberry is the best flavor of the original four Starburst colors. But the Baja California Fruit Chews come in a close second.

If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would buy?
You mean besides paying off my law school loans? I’d buy my mom a beach house and my dad a fully restored ’65 Mustang.

What is your favorite Beatles song?
“Let It Be.” It always reminds me of the time I got to visit the original studio at Abbey Road in London.

What was your favorite television show as a kid?
Saved By the Bell. I had the biggest crush on Zack Morris.

If you were the owner of a brand new sports team, what would its name be and why?
I would love to start a baseball team in Raleigh. The Carolina Blue Sox!

If you could visit one country outside the USA, which would you choose and why?
Australia – I’d spend summer in the USA and go re-live the warm weather Down Under when winter came around.

Who is your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and why?
Leonardo, because he is the leader and has an ‘L’ on his belt!

Which actress would play you in a movie about your life?
Hayden Panettiere (the girl from Heroes). I get mistaken for her all the time. I’m sure the same thing happens to her…

If you had your own intro music, what would it be?
House of Pain’s “Jump Around.” And you have to do the dance. Tar Heel fans know what I’m talking about.

What is your favorite cereal?
Cookie Crisp is a guilty pleasure.

Which are you better at: the Hurricanes Slap Shot Booth or the Obstacle Course?
Definitely the obstacle course. I’m small enough and fast enough to have a good shot at beating my opponent.

What penalty in hockey would you be most likely to get?
I would probably rack up my share of instigator penalties. I hate to lose!

If you were a Disney character, which one would you be and why?
Does Hannah Montana count?

What would be your best Olympic event?
Before it was dropped, I would have said softball. I bet I would make a good bobsledder.

What toppings do you put on your pizza?
Pepperoni and extra cheese. And a side of garlic sauce for dipping purposes.

Which Hogwarts house would you belong to and why?
Ravenclaw – it values intelligence, creativity, learning and wit. And the house mascot is an eagle (I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan).

What is your favorite Hurricanes in-game promotion?
I love to see the look on a fan’s faces when he or she gets a Bailey’s Box.

Why do you get out of bed each morning?
I could say that “every day’s a new day,” but the reality is that law school has an attendance policy.
