I was the happiest guy in the world when I was on the ice. You're being paid to play a game! That's pretty special.

If you talk to most athletes, the place you're most comfortable is your playing field. I'm not so comfortable at a podium or talking about events.

I couldn't wait to get on the ice. I couldn't wait to get to practice. As a kid I couldn't wait to shoot pucks or play in parking lots, or play on the river or play on the bay.

You don't win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.

We've got to do a better job with our kids. Teach good values, teach the fundamentals.
