Ken was the only Wolfpack player to play all 80 games. Ken had to be benched during the 1997-98 Calder Cup Playoffs. He had gotten a pulminary embolism in his lung (a blood clot). It happened after game 3 in the St. John series. (Round 3) All the games that Ken didn't play in, the team lost. Which just goes to show how much of an influence Ken's presence is. For the first game when he didn't play, it was a homegame, and they had fans sign a big card for him to get well, and they recorded a standing ovation for him, then delivered the tape to Ken and taped his response. They played the tape later on during the game, and he said he was very greatful of the fans. It looked as though winning Round 3 was hopeless, so it was arranged for Ken to sit on the bench at the last game, hoping his presence would help. It seemed to help for a while . . . But then the last two periods we got slaughtered. But it happens, and it was a great season.
