I wish I could play the whole game and come back tomorrow.

I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.

I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.

Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess that's a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.

I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

I feel honored and privileged to have represented the USA program over the past 16 years. USA Hockey will always be a part of me and I will cherish the experiences and memories with this team.

I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.
