-Being a part of building the winning culture in Straubing with the Tigers by having consistency and loyalty to the players and coaching staff -Sitting in recently retired Cody Lampl's stall and the game needs more guys like him around -Suspensions in Germany have gotten very weird and no one seems to have to protect themselves anymore and be ready to be hit -Getting ready for the Champions Hockey League and Spengler Cup with the premier Teams across Europe with the Straubing Tigers -Firing a 1st place coach and then the new coach and entire staff in the middle of the finals is very, very strange
