I watched him play a little for the Thunder in the 90's, he was really small, had a muffin of a shot and got knocked off the puck a lot, he had a little sandpaper to him but he was just too small, I remember thinking this guy has to be the smallest captain in pro hockey history(yes even smaller than Theo) former Flame Mark Habscheid was both his linemate and coach I think.

His skating and play making would likely have made him a very good NHL'er in today's game but not then.
