The benefit is competition, the thrill of playing in the Olympics, being an Olympian, playing against the best.

After 20 years in the game, I was fortunate to get away from the game and enjoy my family, which was great for me.

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

I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories...

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

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.

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.
