QUACK ATTACK
The Guy Who Is a Duck
By Rebecca Orion
Well there maybe several Ducks that are male there is only one that has the name Guy. However his name may look like it means a person of the male gender but really it is not pronounced that way. Ask Guy to tell you how it really is pronounced and he will say the g is the same as in guy and the uy is pronounced more like the ey in key. So what does this guy named Guy know? Well read on and find out.
Becky: Guy, you were part of the original Ducks. Most people by now have heard that your team had Coach Bombay and Coach Orion however there was another coach before them correct? What happened to that coach?
Guy: Yes Becky we did have another coach however he had a heart attack one day while coaching us. He now spends his time with his family just enjoying life and doing things he always has wanted to do.
Becky: I know you have a wonderful girlfriend who also has played on the Ducks since before Bombay coached. What is it like being on the same team as your girlfriend?
Guy: Well Connie and I agree that hockey is just a sport we play for fun with our friends. At times we do fight about a play that was made in a game or something that happened in practice and it can sometimes lead to us not talking for a couple days but in the end we do love one another so we give up the fighting or come to some sort of compromise on what we were fighting about.
Becky: Cool! What is your home life like and what is your family like? How many siblings do you have?
Guy: I am actually I think in the minority that has both parents still married to one another. My parents have raised two kids. I have one sister named Gretchen she is three years younger than me. She attends a private school in Rochester. She likes to figure skate and play hockey for fun but she really is a ballet dancer. The school she goes to has one of the best ballet programs in the area. Mom and Dad joke that the house is too quiet without the sounds of hockey players and ballerinas running in and out.
Becky: I can imagine it would be quiet if they are use to that much activity. What is your favorite hobby or past time?
Guy: Most people don't realize I love to read. I especially like reading stories about aliens and ghosts.
Becky: Remind me not to ask you to ever read me a bed time story although honestly I read bed time stories to myself. What is the greatest achievement you have had as a member of the Ducks?
Guy: I would have to say about a year ago when we were playing against the Rams from Rochester I was able to block a shot that Julie wasn't going to be able to block. That is rare for Julie to not be able to block a shot.
Becky: What made you decide to play hockey in the first place?
Guy: Mom and Dad have always encouraged my sister and I to try new things. So Mom signed Gretchen up for figuring skating and she signed me up as well. However after about a month I asked Mom and Dad to take me out because it was a waste of money. I didn't like it and I wasn't good at it. So they did. I had seen kids playing hockey a few times while waiting for Mom to pick us up and so I asked to give that a try. They signed me up and soon it was all I could talk about.
Becky: As a member of a team that went to the Junior Goodwill games what is one of the craziest or oddest questions people ask you?
Guy: I get asked very few questions but the one that sticks out in my mind is the one I was asked a couple times. Can you introduce me to blank? Now you can fill in the blank with almost any players name I have been asked to introduce them to Julie, Connie, Charlie, Adam, Jesse, Fulton, Russ, Kenny, and just about everyone else I think but those more than once. However the best one was can you introduce me to Blake? I don't even know a Blake!
Becky: That is odd maybe they mistakenly thought you were someone else?
Guy: No the guy called me by name.
Becky: Strange! I hear you have an odd collection. What kind of collection do you have?
Guy: It isn't exactly odd it's just different. I collect those little plastic toppers from cupcakes. You know the rings and picks they put on top to decorate them.
Becky: That is cool and very different. What do you do with them?
Guy: I build little boxes with glass lids to put them in to show them off.
Becky: That is very different. Do people give them to you if they know you collect them?
Guy: I get them from family and friends as long as it is different from the ones I have I keep them but my loved ones know that.
Becky: What advice do you have for people who want to collect something unusual?
Guy: Just go for it. Yes others might think it weird but eventually they will see how cool your collection is. Mine is something I am not fighting others I know to get another piece for my collection but rather they give them over willingly.
Becky: Great so what do you want to do after high school?
Guy: I want to go to college and become a travel agent because I love to travel.
Becky: Any last words of advice for the readers?
Guy: Always do your best and love yourself before trying to get others to love you. When you love yourself others love you too. Don't worry about what others are saying about you it only leads you down a dark road. Keep your chin up when things go bad and keep moving forward.
Well that's all the time I had to interview Guy but as you can see he is a very interesting guy. He isn't as boring as he might seem when you first meet him. He just is shy until he knows you. Until then keep smiling!
See you around!
