At a time when my Juniors career was drawing to a close with the Timber, I was asked if I would be open to a trade to the Platoon as there wasn't necessarily a spot for me with the Blizzard. The choice was mine and if I declined then where I ended up would become a matter of fate. I knew a few people over in Baltimore from the Maine LR so there would have been some familiar faces and it probably would have been a comfortable move. I decided that I wanted to stay with the Blizzard though, felt this team was my home and it was going to force me to assimilate and make new friends on the site. Fortunately for me, a Blizzard player requested a trade off the team which opened a spot for me and 6 seasons later I was named captain and I cannot be happier how my career has turned out and excited for the future of this franchise.

I've never actually thought how my career would have played out differently should I have said yes id be open to being traded to BAP. I don't even know where I'd fit into their lineup now. Funny enough though a couple of my Blizzard teammates are on the Platoon now and would have met them eventually. I'd like to think I'd have been one of the missing pieces of the puzzle that might have already put them over the top. I always find myself rooting for them and I hope they can shake things up in the finals.
