Tim Conboy is the subject of the latest offseason Q&A on the River Rats' Web site.
Among the highlights, his take on the atmosphere at the RBC Center:
Yeah, it’s unbelievable. Going out there, you throw the littlest body check--it doesn’t even have to be a big check, you can just be rubbing out a guy--and the place goes nuts. It’s a pretty intense atmosphere to be in and something I think every kid dreams of when they step on the ice for the first time.

After having seen him play in both Raleigh and in Albany, I know what a hard worker and great person he is. I'm hoping he'll be in Raleigh quite a lot next year (not that I hope we have injuries, but you know how their luck is).
cheers for hits
