His career ended prematurely due to concussions.
He refuses to watch the tape of his time with the Canucks out of fear it would get eaten by his VCR.
Canucks general manager Brian Burke admitted he panicked at the thought of him playing in the game, after Johan Hedberg briefly went down.

He was the first notable emergency goaltender in NHL history.
He was studying for a geography exam at the time he got the call from the Canucks.
He nearly got to play in the game, had Hedberg not have stood up on his own power.
