Biography/Personality:
Eric is the same soft spoken, down-to-earth guy he was before he started making $4 million per season.  Because of his hectic hockey schedule, he doesn't see his four brothers often, with whom he is very close.  Eric loves his fans and will *always* stop to sign an autograph or sign a picture.  Seeing someone in his jersey or reading an article on him in the newspaper still gives him a thrill.  Hockey is Eric's passion in life.  Eric was just paralyzed in a hockey game.  His future is quite uncertain.
