Clarkson Integrator

Ever wonder what your favorite athlete is like off the ice, off the field or off the court? The time has come to get to know your Knights! This week I got to sit down and spend some time with Brodie Rutherglen, Jon Marshall and Tyrell Mason of the Men's Hockey Team. After a basketball shoot out, second and third answers, and so much laughter, here is what I managed to get out of those ever-so-funny guys:

Q) Why did you get involved in hockey?

Brodie: "My mom wanted me to play hockey and my dad wanted me to ski so I pretty much started both at a young age; living in Canada definitely influenced me too."

Jon: "I had played a lot of sports along with hockey but hockey really became important to me and I was on the ice just about every day."

Tyrell: "Since I was five years old I've been a fan of the Edmonton Oilers and I think I was three or four years old when my parents asked me if I wanted to play hockey; obviously I said yes."

Q) Are there any other sports you play?

B: "Soccer, skiing and motor cross."

J: "Baseball, soccer and lacrosse."

T: "Soccer and lacrosse when I was younger; I also enjoy golfing."

Q) What is your favorite part about being a hockey player?

B: "Being on a team with the guys and all of our road trips."

J: "Becoming a family with the team and just doing what I love."

T: "Fulfilling my love of the sport."

Q) Favorite memory of hockey?

B: "Beating Cornell in the ECAC finals."

J: "Scoring at home against SLU."

T: "Last year against Cornell in the playoffs, and Peewee Provincials when I was younger."

Q) What do you think of the hockey team this season?

B: "We're a close, talented, hard-working group and if we keep it up, good things are bound to happen."

J: "We are hard working, but we just need to stay focused."

T: "There is definite depth in the roster and if we work our opponents we'll be successful due to the talent we have."
