On Monday, November 26th, NHL players David Backes and Kevin Westgarth, along with former player Mathieu Schneider, planted themselves at their laptops for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit.com. Kevin and Mathieu were at the NHLPA offices in Toronto, and David answered questions from his home.

The players enjoyed the opportunity to interact one-on-one with hockey fans. Topics of conversation ranged from the lockout to Mathieu Schneider’s teeth! They didn’t shy away from answering the tough questions like “Why not take the $200 million Make Whole?” or “Did Kevin Westgarth actually participate in a high school production of Grease?”

Here is a sample of some of the questions that were asked:
