Biography:
Hailing from Thunderbay, Ontario in Canada’s great white north, all four Amish Country Doctors left the old order Amish Church as teenagers. Seemingly by divine appointment, they met up again while playing major junior hockey for the Sarnia Sting and Windsor Spitfires. After they failed out of the ranks of prospective professional players, they enlisted in the United States Navy (though they were Canadian citizens). Humiliated and sore after a hazing at the equator, these former greasebacks [wogs] vowed to never be humbled again. They were accepted into the United States Navy basic underwater demolition (BUD) school and became Navy Seals. They were trained as combat medics, but they worked instead rescuing drowning sailors from sinking ships around the world. Having been accused of a crime they did not commit, these four men promptly escaped from a maximum security prison into the Los Angeles underground. They worked as soldiers of fortune. If you’ve got a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, The Amish Country Doctors.
