Once you turn pro and you're making the big money and kids are buying your sneakers and your skates and your gloves and so on, you are a member of that role model club.

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.

I was an offensive defenseman. I was up the ice as much as I was back.

Blood, sweat, tears. No practice tomorrow 'cause there's no one left to beat.

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

I always tell Bobby he was up in the air so so long that I had had time to shower and change before he hit the ice.

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.
