I think the lottery changed everything for us. Once we got Sidney, it helped us turn this franchise around overnight.

I think the game has opened up, and that's why I decided to come back and try to be a part of it.

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

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 didn't like the way the game was being played.

Once I'm at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I'm a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.

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.
