I was assistant in Edmonton with Wayne as captain, and Kevin Lowe was the other assistant.

I think now what you're seeing is guys that are in the peaks of their careers anywhere from 27 to 35 years old, seems to be when they play their best hockey.

I think the idea of the obstruction through the neutral zone and away from the puck was an excellent rule.

Biologically, I'm 10. Chronologically, I'm 33. In hockey years, I'm 66.

There was a time there in the mid '80s to the '90s there that we played six finals, three Canada Cups, we were playing hockey almost 10 months a year for a long time there.

I just think overall a lot of it has to do with conditioning and players putting in the time and the effort in the off-season to keep themselves in condition for 12 months a year.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.
