Over 30 Hockey League

One of the Over-30 league’s most dependable players who can still run with the younger players (even if he can be seen huffing and puffing along the way), Nicky never backed away from taking a shot from anywhere on the rink he didn’t like.  His straight ahead, shoot-first pass later style has resulted in Nick always finding himself in the top ten scorers each season of the Over-30 league.  Nick is one of the best team players to have on your team as he is just as comfortable centering the second line or first line and producing the same quality results.  One of the most liked players in the league, wearing his favorite number 21, Nick is a true team player who gives you 100% every shift of every game.

Playing in his 37^th season, Nick has crafted a successful career in the Over-30 league, winning 6 championships, 4^th overall in career points with over 600 points and closing in on 300 goals scored during his playing tenure. His goal production is somewhat surprising knowing that Nick is notorious for never scoring on a breakaway, which means he either should have scored more goals or saw he had a chance at a breakaway and ended up passing the ball to a team mate instead.  Another of the Over-30’s blue collar-type of centers, Nick will tell you he is playing to “get a run in and a workout;” however, we know better, as Nick is an intense competitor on the rink, but, does so with class.
