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.

When you think of hockey, when you think of Canada, you think of Wayne Gretzky.

If you keep performing, and if you stay healthy, you keep playing.

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