10 Questions: Marc Lamothe

Marc Lamothe will be our first "10 Questions" that involves a player who is still playing professionally. He has four NHL games under his belt, two with the Chicago Blackhawks and two with the Detroit Red Wings. Playing in the American and International hockey leagues for most of his career, Lamothe has put up solid numbers.

Recently, as of April 7, Lamothe signed a deal to play for the Hamberg Freezers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (germany's top professional league) during the 2010-11 season.

In 10 Questions, Hound Central 5.0 asks NHL players -- past and present -- a few questions about their views on autographs. Former NHLer Ian Moran was the first to respond, giving us a few minutes of his time. Since then, there have been quite a few former NHL players who've responded.
