Teddy Purcell interview
Here's Don's interview with Teddy Purcell. Morning-skate reports coming soon...
----------
Forward Teddy Purcell signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Kings last year following a very successful year at the University of Maine, where he propelled the Black Bears into the 2007 Frozen Four. Purcell, who was not drafted, currently leads the Monarchs in points with 72 (20+52).
Here, Purcell discusses the creative aspects of his game along with areas of needed improvement. He also talks about the thrill of scoring his first NHL goal, the reasons the Kings seemed like a perfect fit for him, and why a certain defenseman’s pick-up truck is frequently filled with garbage.

Purcell: My dad’s name is Ted too, so Teddy just kind of translated over into the hockey season.
