Anthony Ibanez

Born and raised in Metro Detroit, Anthony grew up watching the Red Wings and has been a contributor with Octopus Thrower for nearly a year. He has witnessed three new Red Wings captains but has been alive for four of them. A former defenseman himself, they have a reserved spot in his heart for all eternity, but ironically, his favorite Red Wing of all time is Darren Helm.
