He showed up for the 2002 and 2003 seasons, took a few years off, and then returned in 2006. Kyle plays prop and lock and both are positions he's played since high school. He got a few minutes of glory out at wing in the playoffs for Eastside. His favorite part of training is having that nice vold pint at the bar. Over the past few years he has played with a great bunch of guys on the team and he's looking forward to many more years to come!
