I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn't hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything.

No matter how many years you play, it's always something new and exciting. It's sports, you never know what may happen.

It's important for me to have my family close.

A happy player is a good player, I think.

I'm so busy right now, it's the beginning of the hockey season for my kids.

I like to try to give something back to the community because I feel fortunate for how I was raised and how my life turned out. Each year, with the help of my brother, Grant, we run a charity golf tournament to raise money for the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy.

Everybody ticks differently, but family is very important for me.
