Selkirk Saints, Brendan Blackmore, Speaks Sports

Mar 31, 2010 by Julia McIntyre-Smith

Welcome to the first edition of the Selkirk Saints player profiles!

This month I spoke with Brendan Blackmore #14 about what it is like playing hockey for Selkirk College. I started off slow with a couple of easy questions.

JMS: What position do you play?

BB: Left wing.

JMS: Who is your favorite hockey player of all time?

BB: Joe Sakic.

JMS: How long have you played?

BB: Aside from this year, I have only played one year Midget B.

After Brendan was warmed up I got into the deeper questions…

JMS: What is your favorite memory playing with the Saints?

BB: The road trips are always a good time. We have gone to Kelowna and Vancouver

JMS: What is the hardest part about being a student athlete?

BB: Keeping up with the classes. You have to study lots.

Once I realized Brendan was ready for anything, I asked him the question of all questions…

JMS: Would you rather ooze black stuff when you get nervous, or shed your skin like a snake every time you sneezed?

BB: Shed my skin.

And that’s it for this month’s edition of SpeakSports. Until next time!
