Club Penguin Spike Hike – Lane Merrifield’s (Billybob) Replacement!

Hey guys!

Recently, Chris Heatherly posted on the Club Penguin blog. You may have read the post I made a few days ago about Lane Merrifield (also known as Billybob) leaving Club Penguin. I also told you that his replacement was going to be a man by the name of Chris Heatherly. We were all wondering who he was, and now he has spoken!

Chris’s username on Club Penguin is Spike Hike so you might want to add him on Club Penguin SOON before they take the ability away of being able to add him! Check out the picture below:

Here is some stuff Chris had to say:

I first met the Club Penguin Team in 2007 when I worked for Disney Toys. When I first came to Penguin, I fell in love with what the team was doing. Together we worked on the first Penguin toy line. Billybob and I got to launch the toys in the biggest penguin party ever in New York City! We had Club Penguin projected onto the Jumbotron so that kids from around the world could join the party.

As a dad, I’ve been playing Club Penguin with my three kids for years. My twins even had a Club Penguin birthday party and I dressed up as Herbert. Herbert had stolen the puffles and the kids had to throw “snowballs” at him and get him to drop the sack of puffles. The kids tackled me to the ground and pelted me with snowballs!

Lane and I became really good friends and talked a lot about his vision for Club Penguin. When he asked me to join Club Penguin it was a dream come true! For the last year and a half, I’ve been able to work on parties, penguin shorts and music videos. As a long time player and as a dad, Club Penguin is very special to me.

As Billybob said in his farewell post, one thing about Club Penguin will never change – it has always been about you guys and always will be.

Until next time… Waddle On!
