AB: At first, I only wanted to try in a little summer league for fun and I loved it so much that I still play this position today.
Tendysetups.com: Which goalie(s) have you looked up to throughout your career?

Tendysetups.com: For those who haven’t seen you play, how would you describe yourself as a goalie?
AB: I’m a calm goalie with a great glove. My reads are one of my strengths, along with my positioning.
Tendysetups.com: Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions?
AB: I’m not really superstitious, but usually before games I tape my sticks, play soccer a little bit and get dress.
Tendysetups.com: As of right now, what has been the highlight of your hockey career?
