Thank you...Sir?

I was watching the highlights of the Memorial Cup's opening game and saw an interview with the kid that scored the OT game-winner. His name's Maxime Frenette, a fresh faced kid who probably couldn't grow a decent beard if he tried (and he's trying). Here's TSN's take:

The 18-year-old from Boisbriand, Que. was only in the lineup because star forward Chris DiDomenico was injured, but he backhanded in the game-winner 8:56 into overtime to lift the Voltigeurs to a 3-2 victory over the Windsor Spitfires on Saturday at the MasterCard Memorial Cup.

At the end of the TV interview, the interviewer wished Frenette luck the rest of the way. Frenette replied with a sincere, "Thank you, sir."

Refreshing. Cool to see. A couple of years of pro hockey and a free agent contract will knock that kind of talk out of him in no time, but for now we can enjoy it.
