Vancouver had an opening for a starting goalie and, and, uh, they just hired Jim Benning, who was actually, uh, he pulled the trigger on my draft with, uh, Buffalo.

Like he was the guy.

Oh, but I think he's a little late.

He had seen me play, kind of vouched for the situation.

He's like, well, he's still available.

Let's grab him.

So when he got the job with Vancouver, I think that was something where he saw an opportunity where he's familiar with me and kind of known quantity, bringing somebody in.

And yeah, Vancouver is a great stop.

I'm really happy I got to play in Canada.

It was a beautiful city, passionate about sports and hockey and life in general.

It's such an active city.

And, um, I'm proud to say my son was born up there.

You know, he's born at Vancouver, uh, women's and children's hospital and he's a dual Canadian citizen.

And, uh, it will always be connected to Vancouver just for that reason.

So it was a, it was a great, great part of life.

While my dad is, my dad's a dual.

He's born in Canada.

Okay.

Yeah, they do it now where he had to give it up when he was a kid because you couldn't hold two citizenships and be an American back in the day.

Now, since you can, he went back and claimed it.
