Any free meal is a good meal, you know?

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

Once you're in the game and it's a part of your life, you never want to leave it. But you have to be committed to be able to travel and do the things you need to do to be successful in whatever role you're doing.

Obviously there are not too many people who get a chance to play in the Olympics in their hometown. That would be something special, but going into the summer you have to be realistic with yourself, and health-wise and motivation-wise you have to be willing to do what it takes.

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.

I'm just happy I got a hole-in-one for the first time in my life.

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