Grade 9 and 10, in Regina, Saskatchewan, was a turning point for me. My dream to play in the NHL morphed into rocking it on the skins with AJAL. Then I wanted to play in the NHL again. Here is a pic with band-mates Jason Gervais, Jerry Schellenberg, and Danny Ferguson. I think someone knew someone at the movie theatre who let us sneak the letters up on the sign for about an hour! Now I'm curious what movie name was up there at the time!
I LEFT HOCKEY FOR ROCK AND ROLL
my dream in high school
was with the band
when my pearl drums
beat out my playoff plans
i used to play peewee
but i got hurt
then i heard 'tom sawyer'
and became neil peart
i left hockey for rock and roll...
it wasn't because i was a nerd
it wasn't because my team
kept on comin' in third
it wasn't because i wasn't a jock
it was all because of johann sebastian bach
i left hockey for rock and roll...
my dream in high school
was in the band
but now i take a slapshot every chance i can
cause i left hockey for rock and roll
but i came back
whattya think about that, dad?
i play hockey and rock and roll
it's good for my soul
it's good for my soul...
