Hockey has given me everything, most importantly it brought me to Swift Current, where I met my wife Deb.
I'm just happy I got a hole-in-one for the first time in my life.
You can't play hockey with a bald spot, so I'm hanging up the skates.
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.
I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories...
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.
