Chucky can be accused of being underhand, sneaky and a bit dirty but I don't see any basis to accuse him of cowardice. He takes a phenomenal amount of abuse game in game out and is selfless in his conscious decision not to react for the benefit of the team. Even when he was a skinny kid he was happy to stand in the crease getting destroyed by much bigger men. He's one of the bravest players I've seen in Flames silks.
