The last of the teams founding fathers, T.F. has made the majority of his impact as the teams General Manager. During his sixteen years as the Kings G.M. he has seen 12 teams win a championships using 63 different players. He was responsible for recruiting such stars as Rich Tracy, Jim Thompson, Alex Leon, Joe Furnari, Jay Creel and Chad Michaud. Besides his duties as G.M. he has also won seven titles as the teams assistant coach, four as a player and one as the teams head coach. >
His career statistics put him on many of the organizations to 10 lists. T.F. has also seen much success in his time not wearing the purple and gold. He won two straight titles as G.M. of the draft league's Fighting Saints, posted and undefeated season as coach of the Freshman Whalers, won five titles as a player and won three straight defensman of the year trophies. He has also seen much duty on the tournament circuit. He coached the Plainville Penguins to victory in the East Coast National tournament, and was G.M. and assistant head coach of the Connecticut entry in the 1994 Can-Am tournament. No one can deny his place in Connecticut Dek-hockey history. He is widely known as one of the greatest front office people to ever grace the sport. Besides his accomplishments as a player and a coach/G.M. he will be remembered for many other things including: Naming the Kings, being smart enough to hire Dennis Connors as the web page's creative editor, breaking the sink at Kings party one, dumping a drunk Rat onto his front lawn then driving off and leaving him there, dragging Rat and Ray Mackey (with the help of Danny Thebeau) out of the swamp at Hockey World, giving Morrissey that bottle of Harvey's Bristol Crème, double dating with Joe and Stacey (oh what fun), making up numerous stories about other teams players bashing King players as motivation to want to kick their ass, being the first King ever suspended, costing Stouts a goal by intentionally putting eight men on the dek during a blowout, supplying many of the juicy details in the player spotlights, wanting to kill Danny Thebeau for constantly referring to the song Dog and Butterflies by Heart as Dog and Cat, being responsible for the greatest slash in team history (just ask Rat), being voted world's greatest diver for drawing penalties without being touched and being totally insane in his quest for Kings memorabilia.
Besides Despite all of his successes there are still a few things he would like to forget.
Such as: The party where Alger told him he was nailing his girlfriend (how come I was the last to know), game three of the Old Boys final, scoring on Stuka while being teammates, the Monarchs game, losing to Carter and Villa in Waterbury finals, anytime he had to deal with Tim Fennel, losing 6 straight games to a sieve like Bill Duschene, Keith Sullivan's ugly mug, losing to the Wings in East Hartford, walking off the dek for the last time at the end of the Monarchs game and pulling that jersey off for the last time and admitting that the Kings were no more.
In the future T.F. hopes to keep interest in the Kings alive by pouring ungodly amount of time and effort into the web page (which he would do if he had any free time), taking everyone's money again in the upcoming dead pool, having a chance to play old time hockey at the tennis courts again, seeing the children of the Kings become the teams next generation team, to complete the Kings museum in time for the next dead pool, to find enough players to reform as the Blue Meanies, to get stouts to pass to him when he is wide open and to find something else in life that will fill his need to be despised by all( hey everyone has to have a dream, lol).
