THE SKINNY: Among the eight original players selected for Team Canada which
raised some eyebrows because he's a big, brawny player more suited to the
confines of the North American rink... He does skate pretty well, which will
help him on the big ice... Fearless in front of the net, he will give Team
Canada a physical dimension in the slot area... Will, however, have to be on
his best behaviour since temper can sometimes get the best of him. He's been
suspended twice in his career. He got 11 games last year for a hit on Dallas'
Grant Marshall... First pick overall in 1990 draft by the Quebec
Nordiques... Led the NHL in game-winning goals with eight in 1994-95...
FAMOUS FOR: Pointing and scoring on Dominik Hasek in all-star game.
INFAMOUS FOR: Punch up with assistant coach Don Jackson in Quebec.
SHOOTOUT POTENTIAL: Is O-1 in his career on penalty shots.
