CAREER INFO:
Drafted in the second round, the 30th overall pick, by Minnesota in 1986. Acquired from Winnipeg for Norm Maciver on December 28, 1995...played college hockey (Michigan State), major junior (Medicine Hat of the WHL), and minor pro (Kalamazoo and Cleveland of the IHL)...lost to Penguins in 1991 Stanley Cup Finals...assited on first goal in San Jose Shark history on October 4, 1991...owns a Harley Davidson.

PLAYING STYLE:
Solid in many areas of the game, but a stand-out player nowhere...carries the puck often but is definitely NOT a rushing defenseman...can't complete many easy passes and has little to no shot...vulnerable to outside speed...looks like a bruiser, but isn't very solid and his hits aren't very forceful...will fight if provoked...can't hit a moving target because of his lack of skating abilities...very injury-prone.
