Mike came to play with our club after he finished his degree at the University of Victoria. He played for the club for a total of 4 years, from 1975 through 1978 - all of these years were Rounsfell cup victories
Mike was a dependable tackler with good hands and a great teammate. He was a big part of getting JBAA inducted into the Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.
Mike also played football for the JBAA Mustangs under Mel Davison.
