Interview with JP Lefave

HC Club Hockey caught up with former Crusader JP LeFave '04 the other day...Here is what the stalwart defensemen had to say.

HC:  Jean-Paul, great to see and hear from you again.  I think the last time we talked was in the locker room after the NECHA Championship last year.

JP:  Great to see you too.   Yeah, that was an amazing way to end the season last year.  To beat those guys (UNH) in that fashion was unbelievable.  I still can't believe that I was called for a penalty in OT.  I was (explitive) my pants in the penalty box, and you can imagine how great it was to see that puck go in the net.  What a great way to end my 3.75 year career.  (I was cut for the first .25 year)  Couldn't have been a better group of guys.

HC: Yeah, It was quite a game.  Anyway, you have been out of HC 6 months now.  What have you been doing?

JP:  I attend New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY.  The course load and requirements keep me plenty busy.

HC:  What courses have you been taking?

JP:  I just recently completed anatomy, histology, biostatistics and epidemiology.  I am currently taking Biochemistry and Physiology. 

HC: Wow.  Do you have time for anything else? 

JP:  Yeah.   I go to a pediatrician’s office twice a month.  I read lots of textbooks and I cook stir-fry and pasta like a champ, a NECHA champ that is.

HC:  Do you get back on the ice at all?

JP:  Once in a while I can get on for a public skate, but no real hockey which is a void in my life.

HC:  Do you miss anything about HC and HC hockey?

JP:   I miss the cool, crisp air that would sting my face as I walked up to the Hart Center every practice.  Also, I miss watching Coleman put on on his underarmor (wink).  I miss the intellectual and physical prowess of such individuals as Gus, Uncle Ray Ray, Healy, Dekes, Sully, Cliff, Joe, Pat, and all the rest.

HC:  Any advice for this years team?

JP:  All I have to say is enjoy it while it lasts, even if the work is hard, enjoy it.  You'll miss it when its over.

HC:  Thanks for your time JP.  Hope to see you at a game sometime soon.

JP:  No problem.  I'd love to make it to a game second semester, but only if the team promises I can shower with them after.

HC:  I'm sure that won't be a problem.
