Where is your hometown?
Elmira, Ontario. It is pretty close to Kitchener.
How old where you when you started playing hockey?
I was about six years old, that's also the time that I started to skate. (Jeremy Akeson adds- "I thought you didn't learn to skate until Jr. B. Rod!?" Rodney laughs)
What is your favorite NHL team?
I don't really have one. I use to have favorites when I was little but not anymore.
Who are you NHL idols?
Once again I'd have to say that I don't really have one. I use to have them when I was a little kid. I use to look up to guys like Eric Lindros and Pavel Bure but now I pretty much just watch hockey in general and don't have favorites.
Do you have any siblings?
Yup, I have lots; three brothers and two sisters.
Do you live with a billet? If so, do you live alone or with another player?
Yes, I live with a billet. This year I live with (Robbie) Lawrence.
If someone handed you $1000 cash, what would you do with it?
I think I would put it towards a big screen TV. I really want a big screen TV.
If you could spend one day with any person dear or alive who would it be?
I would want to spend the day with Wayne Gretzky; that could be cool.
What holiday do you like the most and why?
I like Christmas, not cause you get lots of stuff but because it is the one time of the year that I get to go home during the season and spend time with my family.
If you could change one rule in the NHL, what would it be and why?
I would change the quick face off rule. I would just completely take it out; its pretty annoying.
