Age 27, Born: Jun 23, 1982
Height: 6'8" Weight: 257 lbs.
Drafted 202nd overall in the seventh round by the Minnesota Wild in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.

Strengths: One of the NHL's toughest players who can fight with the best enforcers in the league. A very intimidating figure to any NHL player. Plays the enforcer role well by not taking unnecessary penalties. A fan favorite.

Weaknesses: Has sub-par skating ability which makes it difficult to keep up with the speed of the game. Doesn't have the offensive skills to be anything more than a fourth line enforcer.
