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

A happy player is a good player, I think.

I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds.

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

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.

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

I'd recommend the high road to anybody. You wonder about it and you don't really appreciate it until you do it and you find that it worked for everyone. But I recommend it.
