Chuck Bernstein is a monster of a man with a horrible accent. On the ice they know him as the hard hitting two-way forward, currently tied for first on the team with a solid +1 and tied for 2nd in goals with 4. But off the ice, you can see Chuck with a bit of a softer side. He tells us that his favorite activity is just kicking back with a nice, ice-cold glass of water and playing with his cats. It's a great way to unwind and think about how simple life is. He'll usually end his night playing some videogames with his teammates and bitching about how SMJHL 17 has his stats wrong, but all in all, Chuck enjoys the quiet life. Cats, water, hockey, and video games. This young skater has really gotten close with his teammates as well. He's always working to arrange sleepovers with his draft-mate Fletcher. "We're like twins, you know? We got drafted together, back to back. I'm the higher draft pick, so he looks up to me, but I let him make the decisions once and a while." The Raiders have some of the best team chemistry among their rookies and it really shows. Winning 3 games early in the season in a rebuild year shows the amount of grit and guts this team has on and off the ice. And cats.
