"It doesn't matter to us who is in net ... Even if Jesus is in net, we'll try to beat him." - Canadiens coach Guy Carbomeau on facing another backup goalie Super Wilkins volleyball brothers

Radmila Malobabic SponTsRawm

The Sudbury-born Wilkins brothers have been coaching volleyball for more than 10 years and playing for more than 20. "Wayne was always the boss, at least he tried to be," said their mom, Linda Johnston. "They were good kids growing up - always playing volleyball since they were young. It was a priority." They moved to Toronto in their teens and both attended Humber College. Wayne played for the Hawks for four years and Chris for two. Chris, 35, vice-president of a telecom company and younger brother "by two years and

19 days," is the women's coach, while Wayne, 37, is an account executive at Bell Canada and coaches the men's team. The Et Cetera had the opportunity to talk with the coaches about their personal and professional lives.

Q: Was there a brotherly bond when you were growing up? Chris: Absolutely. As much as we joke around about our rivalries between each other, he's my best friend. Wayne: Oh come on, we fought like cats and dogs, actually. Q: What is one of the fondest memories you have of your childhood with your brother? Chris: We did a lot of stupid stuff as two boys growing up. My mom was a single mom raising us both.
