"I wanted to pass along a recommendation for Chris, a former teammate of mine. On the ice he was steady, competitive, and played the game the right way with smart decisions, good habits, and someone you could trust in any situation.

Off the ice, he continues to put in the real work to help build a stronger team culture. He was proactive about bringing in the right guys, supporting the room, and doing the behind‑the‑scenes things that make a group better. From a teammate’s perspective, he was mature, dependable, and zero maintenance.

I think he’d be a strong fit for any team, on or off the ice."

"Chris was tremendous in his recruiting efforts of our son to attend Houston University. Unfortunately we were unable to secure enough scholarship funding and were unable to accept. Chris was honest straight forward and we absolutely respect his efforts. His communication, honesty, and straight forward attitude is exactly what we wanted and hoped for."
