However, just to guesstimate, let's say he was 25 years old in the figure's release year of 1987. That means, had he stayed in Canada, he would have been in the QMJHL approximately 1976-1979. If he'd played for his hometown team, that would have been the Montreal Juniors (now known as the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies) and he would have played on that team with none other than Denis Savard of Chicago Blackhawks fame.
Given his codename, and if there's a hockey association, it implies that he was a goalie...
On Metalhead's 1994 filecard, his secondary specialty is listed as "hockey fight analyst." It's funny that the hockey-related Joe is a puck-stopping tank driver, while the hockey-related Cobra is a shot-taking anti-tank specialist.
Yep. Too much time on my hands.
HAHA awesome!
And yes, CapBritain, backstop is a nickname in both hockey and baseball. It definitely implies goalie. If he was a fighting goalie, he was essentially Ron Hextall!
