Pork Bothers

Pork Bothers did not start playing ice hockey until he was in his 50's but continued to play until he was 79. Pork has been an inspiration to many of the Vudoo players over the years as it was very rare for him to miss a game. We will never forget the time Pork lost a fingernail, which is quite painful, this did not stop him, he made an insert for his glove out of PVC pipe so that he could continue to play.

Pork's presence and smiling face in the locker room game in and game out is missed greatly since he retired from playing in 2014. They truly broke the mold when they made this guy and there will never be another like him to put on the Vudoo jersey.

The Vudoos have retired number 16 as a tribute to long-time Vudoo, Pork Bothers.
