Hello all,
We're pleased to welcome Rapid City Rush player-assistant Brendan Cook to today's chat. Brendan comes to Rapid City for his sixth professional season after stints in the East Coast Hockey League and the CHL. Last year, he skated for the Nottingham Pilots of the Elite Ice Hockey League in England, scoring 34 goals and 41 assists for 75 points. So far for the Rush, Cook has 10 points on 4 goals and six assists. Welcome to the chat, Brandon.

Could you start out by telling us briefly how the season has gone for you?

3:02	[Comment From Rush Fan!] What has surprised you the most about Rapid City since you've been here?

3:03	Its going ok so far. As a team we are 3-3 and would like to get that win column up a little and get above .500 and for myself I'm starting to find some chemistry with my linemates and get going as well

3:03	Oops, I meant Brendan. My bad.

3:04	I really love it here! I love that there is so much to do, it is very easy and fun place to entertain family. I also love the small town friendly feel of Rapid City

3:05	[Comment From Rushfan9] whats the biggest difference playing in rapid city compared to england

3:06	I think obviously playing here my wife and I are a little more comfortable living, as I touched no earlier we really enjoy the small town feel, it seems like home for us. On the ice the ice sheet is smaller here, so there is a little less time and space, things happen a little quicker

3:07	[Comment From Rush Fan!] What pre-game routine do you have?

3:09	I dont know if we have enough time to cover all of them ha! i have a pretty regimented routine- everything from eating pregame at 1pm, to the time that I tape my stick and stretch. One thing you may notice in warmup is that I wont leave the ice until after I've tucked one under the bar

3:10	[Comment From Beth] Do you have a nickname the team gave you?
