As a hockey player, he is best known for being an enforcer while playing for the Windsor Spitfires. On October 25, 1998, during a game against the Owen Sound Platers, he sucker punched Juri Golicic, suspending him from the OHL for 25 games (later revised to a lifetime ban, which was rescinded since) by then-OHL commissioner David Branch.[2]
