Hockey Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He goes by his middle name rather than his birth name of Brian.
    He was arrested for sexual assault during his tenure with Sault Ste. Marie of the Ontario Hockey League (2012).
    The charges were dropped before they had a chance to reach the prosecution stage, which in turn allowed him to get off scot free.
    He became a journeyman player following his departure from the Flyers, playing on five teams in a five year window.
    His tenure with the Golden Knights was short, as he played seven games as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was able to rebuild his reputation in the years following the sexual assault charges.
    He was considered a solid two-way forward by hockey pundits.
    He found success in Florida playing alongside both Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk.
    He scored the series-clinching goal in overtime against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which sent the Panthers to their first appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1996 (May 12, 2023).
