Nick-Names: the "Biller"
Other: Biller is the Back-up goalie for the Avs, but he doesn't play
that way. He excells in every game he plays and steps up well when he is
needed. He suffered a knee injury earlier this season and was replaced
by 19 year-old Marc Denis from the Chicoutimi
Sagueneens. He's back now and has made an impression as he filled in for
injured Patrick Roy when the number one goalie
sprained his thumb in a game against the Pittsberg Penguins.
Biller isn't married, but he has a girlfriend named Katherine with whom he
spends his summers in a cottage in Onterio while he runs his goalie camp.
