Football, you can go out and buy a football and play it in your backyard. Basketball, you can go out and play it in the schoolyard or in your driveway. Baseball, you get a glove and a bat and a ball and you go out and play in the neighborhood. You can't do that in hockey.

With my kids I have to get involved in the Scooby Doo games and the basic kid games that go on. I find myself getting on it more and more just because of my kids.

They just love to complain about me because I'm an American who gets more press than their Canadian players.

The competitiveness, playing in front of 18-19,000 people every single night, people asking for my autograph, getting recognized, being able to do something like this with Sega and being on the front of a box, and being involved in video games, and listening to movies where they reference my name like in Swingers. All these things they make life so exciting, you don't know what to expect next.

We don't want you at the rink, we don't want you in the stadium, we don't want you to watch hockey.

You can't just go outside and play hockey. It's more of an expensive sport.

The only difference between the Coyotes and 'Days of Our Lives' is that nobody has been shot on our team yet.
