Served someone tonight that played against me on Edgehill in my Grade 12 year. They told a story of their coach who had our lineup on a whiteboard in their room, pre game notes on everyone and I was listed as Gasshole, just incredible stuff
His hockey career peaked though in ‘99 with a provincial high school hockey championship. Gass’ role in shutting down the Slovakian imports from @kingsedgehill especially Michal Macho is that of legend, stifling the future 6th round @NHL pick during a semifinal win in Scotia One
JORDAN LIND: it took me a long time to respect ‘Linder’s’ game as my memory of him is being a whiny little kid on our hockey trips & his brother beating the shit outta him in his basement on Tamerlane. He’s an offensive threat and can score off the rush 1/2
SEAN HURLEY: SHurl hails from one of the Generational families with the #GenCup. One of only seven 100 goal scorers in BGHL history with a 32% Championship winning percentage, he is a stalwart Dman who is extremely reliable out there. Great fundamentals and lateral movement 1/4
RYAN ADAMS: during warmup at Sanfords skate today I asked ‘Rhino’ to be my winger buddy and he obliged so I’d be remiss if I didn’t do his profile next. Seems like every time he laces them up it’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get 1/3
TERRENCE EDUARDO FORBES: pure physical specimen, firefighter, stud muffin, tremendous skater considering his large frame. Can play up and down the lineup. Teery enjoys the post game time in the dressing room as much as anyone (1/2)
@kingsedgehill@NHL@ZSportsplex Makes mashed potato so good it will make you weak in the knees, Gass is a firm believer that nothing says more about you than the food you eat or how you play hockey. If you’ve ever been served by him or watched him play, you know that if nothing else, he’s a man of integrity
MATT GASS - aka “GASS” aka “DIESEL” aka “GASSMAN” aka “FRANK THE TANK” aka “THE MACHINE” aka “THE DIFFERENCE” aka “THE IRONMAN” - Gass is a stalwart of the 90’s All Stars, highly coachable, and even though you may not want him on your team you’d much rather not play against him
@kingsedgehill@NHL@ZSportsplex A bit of an over-sharer, Gass has a great stick & hand eye coordination. His baseball career as a Cole Harbour Cardinal now allows him to bat many passes and shots down outta the air like he’s Tony Gwynn protecting the plate with a 3-2 count
