Q&A with Andrew Archer

[M. Beaux-Eaux]

HF: How do you feel your season is going so far?
AA: Well, I started off with a hernia, had hernia surgery, and was in Hamilton for the whole year, I’ve only been here for about four days now. It’s been up and down, it was tough to get in the lineup, I played probably every third game, and it’s tough to find a rhythm, battles with my confidence and stuff. It was tough. I came down here and things have been good so far, I think I’ve been playing fairly well, starting to get my confidence back and trying to work on the little things that are going to help me next year in Hamilton and hopefully in the future.

"I know deep down that I’m going to be there so just going to work hard here and try to perfect my game over the summer and get bigger and stronger and just be ready for next year."

At 6'4" 222 lbs, I can hardly wait to see what he can do next season. He is a huge RD who is just 20, so let's hope he can develop over the next few years. I also like his attitude about how to improve, it is nice to see a player who is grounded and not getting too far ahead of himself.

Also great to hear that Gordie Dwyer is being a positive role model for the younger guys down in Hamilton, I can see Montreal re-signing him for that reason alone.
