Meet the Players - Episode 12: Henry Goodwyn

Date:  Source: Dartmouth Club Hockey

I found Henry rollerblading around campus when we met up for this interview, watching professional dance rollerblading videos on youtube. Let's dive deeper into that:

[Pax]: Hey Henry, so glad I could pull you out of the roller blades for a few minutes. If you could be any building on Dartmouth's campus, what would it be?

-[Henry]: "I'd be Foco, you know get some gains. It's all about getting the proteins and nutrients, gotta get big."

Excellent choice, those must be the sweet gainz that Ty was talking about. How have your injuries affected your career?

-"I had five concussions total, four in high school, so I decided it would be best and safest to go non-contact and be practice only. It really sucks, I love practice but its not the same without the game aspects."

Yikes, no one wants to see a player have to turn down the tempo like that, but it's great you are still involved. What's your favorite character in Archer other than Archer?

-"Ah, I forgot her name. Eh, I'd say Archer, he's a man. Shoots guns all the time, he's a baller. In this season, he goes extra hard. He gets shit done."

Oh yeah dude, Archer is way better than that guy Archer I told you not to name. Great answer. Very thoughtful. What's your favorite stick curve to use?

-"I'm a big Kane guy, because I like to break kids ankles left and right."

Oh, we've all seen it. You won the ACHA practice player of the year award last year, right? What is your favorite Juul flavor?

-"Always gotta go mint. Unfairly good flavor. Just objectively the best."

Many students nationwide would likely dispute that claim. Would you rather be an unsolved Rubiks cube for the rest of your life (so not a human being), or wear a white Reebok 8K helmet with neon green vents and the stock cage attached to every event you ever attend?

-"Obviously wear the white helmet, so people know that I am athletic and sporty, and my head is protected at all times after those 5 concussions. Momma said be safe."

​I like the way you think buddy, glass half full kinda guy. What is your least favorite university in the United States?

-"Ummm. That's a tough one. I'm gonna go Florida State. Don't steal anyone else's crab legs dude."

I'll pay you $5 if you can find me a fan of J.W. What is your favorite way to dump and chase a puck into the offensive zone?

-"Dump in and go get the defenseman, lay the body."

You are definitely one that strikes me as a grinder enforcer type, so that doesn't surprise me at all. While we're on the helmet topic, white cage or black cage, or wild card bubble?

-"Uhhh, we aren't on the helmet topic anymore Pax. That was like 10 minutes ago. But I'll go with the bubble a.k.a. shark tank. People gotta see my eyes and just crap their pants, I'm just so intimidating."

Oops sorry this episode of Archer is really good I just got lost in time. What's the most amount of points you had in a season, and why?

-"Probably like 35-40 points in about 22 games on my split season midget team. Almost all of them were assists though, I wasn't a big goal guy. I'd have to say it was just a lucky year. Just kidding, I'm sick at hockey."

Not quite 50 in '07, but we'll take it. Such a shame you can't drop 150 points for the boys this season. If you could put any design on a pair of socks, what would it be?

-"The 'Superman S' that everyone drew in middle school with the 6 connected lines. One big one on each side."

​I'm pretty sure I had a notebook in middle school dedicated just to drawing those S's. Do you prefer to squirt water through your cage, or lift up your cage to drink water on the bench?

-"Through the cage, because I'm always on the ice and don't have time to lift the cage while sitting on the bench."

Hmmm, alright. That actually makes sense if you think about it I guess. What's your favorite team in the ECHL?

-"Orlando Solar Bears, just because it's a sick name."

That is a sick name, but what the hell is a Solar Bear? Must have just been a typo when they made their Pointstreak site. If you were gonna go on America's got talent, what would it be for?

-"I would sing 'Firework' by Katy Perry. I did that for a talent show in seventh grade with a bunch of other dudes, and it was a hit. So naturally, America would love it."

Please tell me there's a video of that to be added to the team's pregame playlist. Favorite Family Guy character?

-"Uhhhh... lemme think, there's a lot. I would say Opie from the brewery. He's hilarious, he's a firecracker. You never know what you're gonna get with him."

 

Alright, thanks for tuning in to this pre-season edition of "Meet the Players". Best of luck to the new and returning players during pre-season tryouts.
