TIMEOUT! with Jonathan Higgins
January 23, 2008
By Josh Schweitzer
MH: As an athlete, who had the biggest influence on you growing up?
Jonathan: My dad. He put in endless hours to teach me the basics of my two sports, hockey and baseball.
MH: If you could have chosen any other sport to pursue and play at the university level, what would it have been?
Jonathan: I did have a scholarship for baseball in Chicago, but that fell through. If I had to pick another sport it would probably be golf.
MH: Who are the biggest fair-weather fans of any professional sports team?
Jonathan: Vancouver Canucks fans are terrible.
MH: If you could win any individual player NHL award, what would it be?
Jonathan: The Selke Trophy for the top defensive forward in the league. I’m not a pure goal scorer but you can always go out and hit someone to be effective defensively.
MH: You’ll be travelling to Slovakia for a hockey-oriented mission’s trip this spring reading break; you must be pretty excited about that.
Jonathan: I’m really excited. I have a rare opportunity because my brother will be joining the team on the trip and we have never played hockey on the same team. This will be a thrill for me! Another aspect of the trip I am excited about is serving God in a place I never thought I would go, let alone play hockey.
MH: Who will win Super Bowl XLII?
Jonathan: New England.
Now you go...
