For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be.

My son, he is the reason I got involved. It's been a joy to be around him and teach him the stuff that I know, and to the other kids as well. When he started playing I wanted to be involved in his hockey career. It's a lot of fun for both of us.

I've gone through back surgery a couple times, and of course, my radiation treatments for six weeks got me to the point where I was not able to play at the level that I was accustomed to.

I think we have to show some pride in the jersey that we are wearing, and can’t quit.

When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.
