But at the time, I wouldn't be a true freshman.

I had to wait.

So I had buddies I played with, Adam Hall, Andrew Hutchinson, John Insana, guys that were ahead of me.

I played with or against them growing up, and they are in the class ahead of me.

So I waited a year, played another year of juniors, which is kind of normal now.

back then you really wanted to be a true freshman.

Uh, but, uh, so I waited a year.

I could have gone to Clarkson.

They offered me to be a true freshman, uh, out of the North American League.

Uh, I played up in Sault Ste.

Marie, uh, in, on the Michigan side.

Um, and, uh,

yeah.

So I had a chance to do it, but you know, the main thing that stood out to me is you got a chance to live a dream.

And if you pass it up, it's kind of like a bad move.

So I just was like, you know what?

Just hunker down another year.

You know, you, you guys all see me.

I'm not, I'm not like the biggest stature person.

I got, I got some height now, but like I was, I was five foot eight on my, uh, my first driver's license.
