As a kid, you dream of winning the Stanley Cup. As you get older, you understand the importance of winning the Olympics.

I didn't know that I'd like it this much, coaching both boys and... seeing how excited they are to play hockey. It reminds you of when you were that age and you wanted to be out on the ice.

You can't play hockey with a bald spot, so I'm hanging up the skates.

Hockey has given me everything, most importantly it brought me to Swift Current, where I met my wife Deb.

The more I can hear, the more I can learn, the better off I'll be.

I always said to myself that if I thought I slipped and could not be the player that I want to be, then it was time for me to go.

You need a lot of leaders, but a hockey team needs a voice, not only in the community, but more importantly between the coaching staff and the players. There are always ups and downs in a season; the captain is the guy players look to in those situations.
