younger brother, Brett, who recently retired from the Islanders,

Ladies, he's still single, but don't get any ideas, he's 
mine!!







HOCKEY CAREER

Eric started playing hockey when he was 5.  He had been skating 
since he was1 1/2. He started off as a defenseman, but still led 
his league in scoring, 
because he never stayed back.  He was soon moved to center because
of his size and skill.  When he was 15 he played for the St. 
Michael's Buzzers (Junior B) against 20 year old men.  
When he was 16 he was drafted First overall in the OHL by
the Greyhounds.  Instead of playing for them he played on a 
Tier 2 team in Detroit (Compuware).  He easily dominated the 
league.  After 1 year he was traded by the Greyhounds to Oshawa, 
where they won the Memorial Cup.  He was drafted by the Nordiques 
and later traded to Philly.  He was named Captain when he was 22. 
He continues to lead the team.  Now that Eric appears to be here
to stay (thank God), let's hope he can fulfill his 
life long dream of winning the Stanley Cup!
