Player Profile: Andrew Stevens


Name: Andrew Stevens
Born: August 8 1985, Dublin Ireland

5”10 weight 195
Right Wing

Born in Dublin in 1988, Andrew Stevens moved to Chateauguay (Quebec) in his early teen years. Having only a few options available for his hockey career in Ireland, Stevens moved to the south shore of Montreal. The Cavaliers were part of the bukake of teams that were interested in adding Stevens to their lineup. [Stevens] “In the end, the Cavaliers made the best offer and my family was happy to move to Chateauguay, the night life there is just crazy”.

The Stevens family was adopted by the community from day one. His father [Seamus Stevens] brought with him hundred of years of beer brewing knowledge.Seamus started to brew his beer in his basement, in an old tub found by the side of a cigarette shack. His wife [Orla Stevens] was sceptical but always followed Seamus, even in his craziest experiment. It wasn’t a secret that Seamus married way above his level, but Orla fell for the crazy old kook. In a short amount of

time, Bock Beer was the most popular drink on the shore. Andrew is proud of his dad and he's been a great ambassador for the family business [Andrew Stevens] “This is a really tasty drink, have a couple glass of this stuff and you’re ready to fight a ninja”. Andrew recalls good times with long time friend and Shocker member Jon Sante [Andrew Stevens] “Me and my buddy Jon have made a lot of testing for my dad’s beer, some crazy times I tell you… I got dick slapped more then once and Jon blew a couple dead bears”.


Andrew has been a great contributor to the Shocker’s attempt to build a long lasting dynasty. He has great contacts all over the south shore and even beyond. The Shockers fans can thank him every time they get to see the Diabo brothers make an amazing goal, or Sante block a shot and fall on his ass randomly or for the latest addition of Dwayne [Pilon] and Gary [McDermott]. [Andrew Stevens] “I’m glad my cousin Gary decided to join, he’s got some power in that shot… it’s like a big donkey punch from the point. It’s cool to spend some time with him, he was also a huge contributor to the Bock beer testing, he sharted his self to sleep a couple times to help my dad make the perfect brew.”


You can see Stevens grinding style of play on October 13th when the Shockers meet the Chiefs. Come one come all, you might see Andrew dish another hard hit and dislocate another player’s shoulder… Magic!


Until then, keep your eyes on the ball and your stick on the floor kids…
