  ...
  Thiessen, 22, agreed that his gridiron game has a basketball influence.The former Rick Hansen star has added concepts he learned on the hardwood, like boxing out for a rebound, to his pass-catching repertoire.But surprisingly, he's found that playing football all summer holds little conditioning benefit for basketball."After football season, I always think I'm in shape, but I'm not," he said."It's different stamina.
  ...
  Thiessen, who was the 2002 B.C. Football Conference rookie of the year and a 2003 All-Canadian, might be considered more of a football guy because he's won more accolades on the gridiron.

  It is time to stop looking at Abbotsford as a small town and to start treating it as a big city, according to council candidate Matt Thiessen.
  
  Thiessen, 22, said he will bring "youthful thinking" to the table if he is elected to council on Nov. 19.
  
  "It's time to . . . start seeing Abbotsford as a large city in the country with big problems," Thiessen said.
  
  "One of my main focuses will be on the Abbotsford police force.We need a larger police force and have to focus on reducing crime."
  
  Pointing to a report published earlier this year in which Abbotsford was named as having the fastest-growing economy in Canada, Thiessen said he would work to make sure it continues to be "open for business."
  
  Thiessen also said he is behind the city's proposed Capital Legacy Plan, an initiative that would speed-up the creation of an estimated $83 million worth of capital projects.
  
  "I fully support the Capital Legacy Project," he said."The City of Abbotsford needs these projects and will have to build them in the future.If we fast-track this plan, it will save tax payers money in the long run."
  
  According to Thiessen, his life experience is "hard to match" following his missionary work in England, Indonesia and East Timor.
  
  "I have a huge heart for Abbotsford - the city I have lived and grown-up in for 15 years," he added.
  
  Thiessen has played for the UCFV Cascades basketball team for two years and played with the Abbotsford Air Force football team for four.
  
  "Participating in team sports has taught me the importance of working with others towards a common goal and being a team player, values that I will bring on to council," he said.
  
  "I will push to create more opportunities for Abbotsford's youth and young at heart to participate in their passions, whether that be sports, arts, or hobbies."
  
  Thiessen works as the manager of a call centre with 100 employees and is married to Dawn, a teacher at MEI Middle School.
