Shawn Halford
|
| Shawn Halford is Tribe’s resident
"sniper" and has rarely failed to satisfy the lofty goal-scoring expectations
that fall upon his stocky shoulders. Lost in his scoring hype is his deft (or is it
"daft"?) passing skills and keen awareness of where other players are on the
ice. Known affectionately as "Halfie", Shawn is an agitator and occasionally
gets "rubbed out" for his efforts, but he has curbed his own penchant for the
penalty box this season. Halford has been known to "ride" teammates from the
bench and can be especially demanding of his own linemates ("For God’s sake,
B-Man, gimme the *&^%$%^’n puck!" ). Halfie is an original Tribe member and
has played most of those years with Tony Felicella, with whom Shawn has formed an almost
legendary partnership. Halford is not a big motivator in the dressing room but does contribute to fundraising activities through his own company "Lone Star Enterprises". As CEO of LSE, Halford was able to use his considerable power and leveredge to acquire a startling 15 tickets to the Tribe fundraiser at Mavericks. Famous Quotes: June 23rd, 1997: "Well, he brought Grape Crush that one time...." [when asked to pick out former Tribe forward Sean Barron’s greatest assets as a member of the ‘97 Spring League team] October 12th, 1998: "I think the post stopped me once" [when asked if any of his shots were stopped in an 7 goal personal explosion versus the Wolverines] That same day: "I think one of them might have bounced off his butt" [answering reporters questions on whether linemate Benvenuto assisted on any of those 7 goals] Neat little fact about Shawn: Shawn is usually the last person dressed after a game (about 10 seconds slower than teammate Mark Dotto). Halford is also an expert five-pin bowler, but a key injury to his index finger forced him into hockey, his second career. Shawn is also quite cute, especially after games when his hair is all messed up and......uh, never mind. |
