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

Every day is a great day for hockey.

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

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

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

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.

My body's feeling it a little bit. But one good thing, my back is in good shape, and that's my main concern. I know that my legs are going to take awhile to get back to where I was a few years ago, but as long as my back is solid, I feel that I can play many years.
