Until one day when he heard a Blackhawk game on the radio and his dream to get off the couch and be a goalie was born!

As a youngster Chuck, wanted to be a model.

He took odd jobs and worked as a flamboyant chemist in order to pursue his dream.

Then he grew a moustache!

He was drafted by the Wolves and he made a lifetime career choice to be a Wolve!

Here is Chuck, poised and ready, ever alert, waiting to pounce on the puck!

Moving into position, earning his nickname:  “The Wall”!

They say that “The Good Guys Wear White”.  Chuck smiles and looks confident to pump up his teammates prior to hitting the ice.

Chuck prepares to take the ice while another veteran Wolve looks on in awe!

Still coiled and waiting!

”The Wall” makes his move so fast that the camera can’t catch it and the picture is blurred!

Thinking about the game, going over “the moves” in his head before he hits the ice.

The team arrives in Helsinki.

Headband in place, about to hit the ice and in his words “take it to the Fins”.

Chuck “The Wall” practices bending over before the game.
Notice how he holds the water bottle to simulate his stick.

The MAN
“The WALL”
The Legend!
