Paul the friendly Giant Grootendorst's Profile

How do you think your team will do in the Calcutta?

Not sure.  For some reason, we have to give a bunch of points away to the legends Peter Lemieux / Ross Vipond so we will need to get very lucky to win. (go get 'em Paul - you can do it!)

When and where did you start playing squash?

Embarrassed to say that I played my first game in 1987 at the University of Victoria.  Playing this long, you’d think I’d be good. (That comment is not an editor's note)

What's your favourite drink?

Tag 5 vodka + freshly squeezed orange juice

If you could see one group/musician in concert, who would it be?

Led Zeppelin (with Bonzo on drums)

Boxers or briefs?

Boxers

Favourite sport?

Aussie Rules Lawn Darts (Bet you did not know that on December 19, 1988, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned lawn darts from sale in the United States due to their hazards as a flying projectile with a sharp metal point. - Paul you are such a rebel!)

Favourite golf hole?

#1 at Furry Creek, BC  (wow this is spectacular)

Other than your wife, if you could have dinner with any female celebrity, who would you chose and why? “having dinner” … so that’s what they’re calling it now!  Lindsey Vonn, because she’s an amazing skier.  (Nice ski outfit too!) 

Shortly after, in 1989, they were also banned in Canada
