I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world.

One thing I hate is people screaming at me. If you want me to do something, talk to me. When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down.

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

Every day is a great day for hockey.

Depending on how we start the season, I can play center or wing... It doesn't matter to me.

Play without fear, and you will be successful.

It was great to play with some of my old linemates.
