On the Original Costume (In 1995):

“It was a very bare bones operation – just myself in a very mediocre homemade (or I guess dorm-made) outfit that consisted of a green ski hat, green towel as a cape, a big ‘D’ drawn on a white T-shirt, two birthday hats colored over in green marker, which I used as shoulder spikes, and a green eye mask that in retrospect kind of made me look like the Hamburglar.”

On the Early Stages of Captain Deerfield:

“It came about from being frustrated that the school crowd during sporting events just didn’t seem into it as much as I was, aside from the occasional school cheer, which at times was pretty half-hearted… I started doing things to try to pump up the crowd like sprinting around the rink ‘Ultimate Warrior style’ after we scored a goal and it kind of took on a life of its own.”

On How Captain Deerfield Joined Forces with the Cheerleaders:

“In my senior year (‘96), the cheerleaders/cheer squad kind of begged me to be on the squad; I wasn’t enamored with the idea of possibly being considered a male cheerleader, but they didn’t make me try out, so I gave in.”

On His Favorite Memory of Being Captain Deerfield:

“[Of] course every now and then I’d get in trouble; I distinctly remember throwing a rubber chicken on the ice after an opposing team’s player took a cheap shot. (I carried a chicken every now and then to taunt the opposing team). Our hockey coach was livid about the chicken and totally wanted to kill whoever threw it; lucky for me I was in disguise and the crowd didn’t give me up, because I’m pretty sure Captain Deerfield would have ended right there.”
