Playing the sport has taught me about teamwork and how to be a good team player, social skills and most importantly, dedication.

The biggest challenge was the cost to play the sport, and this is a challenge that my parents faced. They relied on the community and friends and family for support, and I learned to play hockey using second hand equipment.

I know Malcolm [Subban] and myself, we're a little bit older now, but we don't know everything. To get to where we have so far has been a great accomplishment but we're not even close to being satisfied. To be able to keep on getting better, progressing, and having success, you need help. What better place to get it than from your parents?

I instantly connected with the sport and I have fond memories of growing up on my skating rink that my dad made for us in our backyard.

My dad has always said to me, "where there is a will there is a way" and this is the type of dedication hockey has taught me. Being dedicated to this sport [hockey] has been my will to play.

I try to hold it in until I get on the ice, then in front of the net sometimes I'll pass gas.

Now that doesn't take anything away from my brothers, Malcolm [Subban] is good looking and Jordan's [Subban] a good looking guy, too. I mean they are related to me so they get a little bit of the looks.
