Josh Schweitzer
With: Matthew Keller,
Titans Soccer
Hometown: Forest Lake, Minnesota
MH: Which is the better of the Keller’s: Keller Graduate School of Management; the City of Keller, Texas; or Helen Adams Keller?
Matt: Helen Adams Keller. She is an inspiration to the world.
MH: Which teams will faceoff in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final?
Matt: According to my source for everything European soccer John Kim, it’s gong to be a Barcelona - Chelsea final with Barcelona coming out on top.
MH: In a single word, explain the atmosphere at a Minnesota Wild home game.
Matt: Electrifyingly-thrillingly-orgasmically-epic.
MH: In the 2005-2006 season, you endured a pretty nasty head injury during a game. How did it happen and how much of an impact did it have on you the rest of the season?
Matt: I went up for a header and another guy went up at the same time. His head was down and we collided. It broke my orbital bone and gave him a concussion. I was out for the last few games of the season. I was pretty unhappy about it, but we have a deep roster and the guys played well.
MH: How does it feel to be able to call yourself a 2008 CanAm Hockey Champion?
Matt: It’s pretty sweet. We had a great team of guys and a great set of new coaches this year. It felt like we were playing against the refs a lot of the time, but that just made the win that much more satisfying. The girls played a great game and it was a lot of fun.
John Harkness adds that the girls made it pretty easy, considering he’d never played hockey before.
Now you go...
Got something to say?
