What brought you to StFX?  
I wanted to get out of the West and experience something new.  I had two good friends here who had great things to say and from the moment I came to Antigonish, everything just felt right.

What has been your best moment in a StFX uniform so far?  
The playoff run we had two years ago was so intense and a lot of fun.  We had an unbelievable group of guys that were incredible to go through that experience with.

How much people in Antigonish use their horns
