I recently caught up with Kevin Weekes, who scored 10 points in the first two games for the Damage. He has a 4.44 ppg average—highest of any other player on the Damage and fifth in the DOH.

So Kevin, I couldn't help but notice the new "do" you are sporting this season.

Yeah. I used to shave my body before games, but I decided to let it grow out this year. Something different, ya know.

Well, it certainly looks warm.

No doubt. It also helps soften the blow when I have to stop a wicked slapshot.

Is there any truth to the the rumor that your teammates have started calling you "Cuddly" Kevin Weekes?

I think that has more to do with my super fast glove hand and the way I "cuddle" pucks into my glove.

Yeah, sure. So I hear that the new poster of you is the highest selling poster with the critical ten year old girl market.

I'm gonna kick your...

At this point, Cuddly Kevin asked that the interview be terminated. After what could best be described as a brief scuffle, Weekes and this reporter mended fences. Weekes applied an ointment to a number of my scratch wounds, and I removed a thorn from his paw. I also held his hair as he coughed up a hair ball the size of a melon into the toilet.
