It was remarkable playing for the Adelaide Avalanche together and going on to play for the National Men’s Team. We were fortunate enough to play in multiple world championships and travel the world together. Winning the Gold medal together at the World Championships, towards the end of our carers was a moment I will never forget!
Ben: At the moment I am busy with work, family and my involvement with the South Australian Ice Sports Federation. My time is very limited at this stage of my life. I certainly wouldn’t rule out becoming more involved with the club down the track. It would be nice to give something back, to the club that gave me so much!
Luke: Absolutely, Hockey has given me so much and played a pivotal part in who I am today. I do want to give back to the Sport and know I have a lot to contribute particularly here in South Australia. I have two young boys too, so who knows!
AA: What does it mean to be considered one of the 'legends' of the club?
Ben: It is a really big honor. There have been so many great players and people involved with the club over the years. To be recognised in this way, is really very humbling.
Luke: I feel very privileged to be considered one of the ‘legends’ of the club and be part of a special group. The club has played a huge part in my life and I am very grateful. Its extra special being inducted with my brother.
AA: Who are some of the great import players that came over you played with that stick in your mind?
Ben: Chris Brlecic, The Lawson Brothers (Paul and Charlie), Dylan Martini, Blair Bourgeault, Darcy Corcoran and Steve McKenna.
Luke: This is a hard question! I have been so fortunate to have played with so many different imports over the years, each and everyone one of them have brought different values and traits on and off the ice and have made lifelong friends!
Most memorable would have to be playing with NHL player Steve McKenna. Not to many Aussie kids get the opportunity to play alongside a former NHL captain.
Also playing alongside NHL enforcer Mel Angelstad was incredible. Hands down Mel was the toughest player I have ever played with or against, and the nicest guy you could meet!
AA: What is your favourite / greatest Adrenaline / Avs moment?
Ben: Winning the AIHL Championships in 2000. We managed to pull off an incredible upset. I will never forget Eric Lien stopping a Tyler Lovering penalty shot to win us the Championships.
Luke: The championships were special. I'll remember them forever.
