Dean Ortel

What's so funny? Dean with the real Rocket Man - Buzz Aldrin

 

Profile Dean is the most improved player on the team. This may be a direct result of the equipment upgrade over the last year. Gone are the tube skates, newspaper shin pads, garbage bag hockey bag, and junior jock strap (and cup). Next year we are hoping he gets some real hockey socks and a new helmet.

Dean plays very well for someone who is obviously color blind. We have been unable to convince him that his white Yzerman jersey is not red. We have also questioned Dean's mental intelligence on more than one occasion during the preseason because of the fact that he would go out of his way to harass Marty.

Dean's long reach enables him to do a stellar job on defense. He is one of the fastest players on the team which is very fortunate because he spends a lot of time chasing down players who blow around him.
