Position: Center
Number: 47
Why?: an extra number we had.
Nickname: Harlan Pepper- the nut guy on Best in Show and one of the Nutty brothers.
How we know him: Harken back to Avalanche glory days, Denver had just stolen the 'Dique from Quebec and the Camp boys bought a fan plan to watch the new team win Lord Stanley in it's first season. Sitting in the same section were a couple of hockey fanatics who were always sporting the coolest jerseys. Turns out these "Nutty brothers" would become mainstays on Steamer- although it took quite the prodding to coax them out of retirement.
One scout said: “Tenacious on the puck and extremely dangerous when playing mad. What's this guy doing on THAT team?” “A great player that dominates games sort of quietly. He is fast but not blazing, not a dominating shot - but really good, great hands, hockey sense and anticipation (good for one slot pass from the other team per game).”
Game reminds you of: Henrik Zetterberg, C/LW - Detroit. Powerful skater, unbelievable hands, and no push over. Make him mad and he'll drop 4 on ya’.
Best line on the ice: “Hey ref, maybe you oughta try calling this game without your head up your ass.”
You may not have known: growing up in Colorado, he played on an all-star team with goalie John Graham. Played juniors in Montana-ish after High School.
Thanks for: finally coming out and joining the Steam. Always being up for some post-game hockey talk and beers. And lastly, caring so much – you probably take losing way too hard, but a lot of us do not mind that at all.
