Nigel Dawes

While in Germany, Elliotte sat down with hockey journeyman, Nigel Dawes, inside the Alder Mannheim locker room after practice. Nigel tells Elliotte about winning the Memorial Cup with Kootenay, playing on the best World Junior team ever, what it was like playing with Anthony Stewart, scoring his first goal, sharing a dressing room with Jaromír Jágr, why he chose to play overseas, the best advice he got about playing in Russia and the passion European fans have for the game.
