With his handlebar moustache, he looks like Ross "The Boss" Rhea from the movie the Goon. He's a RW, get Pelletier down there and teach that guy to skate at the NHL level.

Agree.. he was the first character I thought of the guy from Goon.. but then realized he was actually a caricature of almost every character in the original 70's Slapshot.. lol
