Get to know PPP: Gunnar Carlsson

I have a confession to make: my name isn't actually Gunnar Carlsson. Here's some more stuff you may not have known about me.

The Early Years

I was born in Saskatoon to Chinese immigrant parents. Pretty early on, my family moved to Toronto, bouncing around a couple areas of the city before settling in North York.

My earliest hockey memory is of the 2003 Stanley Cup Final. I remember watching in horror as my hockey hero, Paul Kariya, lay motionless on the ice after taking a devastating blind side hit from Scott Stevens.
