I never looked at hockey as work. Now that I'd finished playing, I had to go to work.

I'm really no different than anybody else; except that sometimes I get my name in the paper.

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.

When you're young, you don't realize the sacrifices that people are making for you.

If you're going to help somebody, sneak in, sneak out, do what you can. I just sneak along and do my thing and meet wonderful people, some people I've never met, new friends.

On sheer ability, Mario is good enough to win scoring titles with a broken stick. On pure talent, he's the best there is. But Wayne almost never disappoints you. He comes to work every night.

Minor sports in the community is fun and recreation for everyone, not just the elite. I think back to my days in minor hockey and those are my fondest memories, having fun.
