Player Spotlight: Tyler Vaccari # 15
HH Minor Midget Player Spotlight is Tyler Vaccari # 15 who plays defense.

Tyler you come from a hockey family.  Your sister Brooke is a goalie for the Brampton Canadettes and you have been a Hurricane since Novice.

Let’s also give a shout out to your Dad, Tony who is our Parent Liaison and also provides the music for our home games.


I would describe you as a stay at home ‘d’ who plays the puck hard but still manages to be a nice guy out there.  With the importance placed on this year, what do you do to keep the stress and pressure in check?
I do stuff to keep myself busy and things that make me feel happy.  I do my best to not think about it.


Tell us 5 things about Tyler we do not know:
1.  
I use to suck my thumb until I was 12.
2.  
I use to put my bed in the far corner of my bedroom away from the closet and pull the sheets over my head at bedtime.
3.  
I likes all genres of music.
4.  
Because my middle name is Patrick, when I was younger I always thought my middle name was Patrick Roy.
5.  
I wanted to be a goalie.


You won a meet and greet with your favourite NHL hockey player.  Who did you meet?

The two of you went for a bite to eat.  Where did you go?

I state the obvious when I say playing hockey is a tough sport.  As tough as hockey players are we all have things that freak us out.  For instance….

Daniel Sedin (Vancouver Canucks) because he is claustrophobic he is afraid of elevators.
Justin Faulk (Carolina Hurricanes) says haunted hayrides scare him.
Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers) hates spiders, says it is all about the legs.
Frederik Andersen (Toronto Maple Leafs) is not a fan of the ocean and sharks.
Tyler Vaccari (Halton Hurricanes) Snakes, spiders, roller coasters and singing in public.

Our twitter blew up with a fury because of a tweet about you.  What was the hashtag?
#RepCanes
What was the tweet?

Who should I spotlight next?  Brett Addison
