I didn't want to skate for someone else or for certain marks.
Figure skaters have awful perceptions of hockey players.
I feel like I missed out on the regular high school social life, but that's the way I chose to be.
As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thing and not be noticed.
Before turning pro, I would never have just left my skates sitting in the locker room unattended.
In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They're every four years and it's such a small group.
