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.

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

Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.

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

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

I've got a lot to look forward to. I'm trying to be the best father I can, and that's a pretty important role. Some would say it's more important than stopping pucks.

I think you always take pride in how you play.
