Evan Lindsay interview
by Kyle Sharpton

How do you warm up and get ready for a game?
Mitch and I come in 2 1/2 hours early. We tape our sticks,stretch,talk to the guys,listen to music,things like that.

Do you have any superstitions?
No.

Do you have any brothers and sisters?
Yes,I have one brother. He's 28. He livs in Canada.

How do you like being in Tallahassee?
I like it lots. The weather is nice,nicer than at home this time of year. The people are nice and the fans are great.

What was it like in the town you grew up in?
Red Deer? It's a prairie town in Alberta. There's farming. It has about 70,000 people. It's cold,but it's a nice place to live. (Kyle then wanted to know if Evan had seen any prairie dogs. No,he hasn't.)

Do you have any advice for anyone like myself that would like to be a goalie? (Kyle plays goal in the youth league.)
You need to work on your skating. The goalie has to be one of the best skaters on the team because you're always moving around. You can't just stand still. Work really hard and enjoy it. It's the best position on the team.

Have you always been a goalie?
No,I didn't start goal until I was about 11. I was a forward for 5 years. My dad made me take figure skating lessons too. It wasn't fun.
