[Magic] Johnson is seriously remarkable, in terms of what he has accomplished in his profession and outside of his profession as well.

Playing in the NHL, it's a great job, it's a great life to live, and we just want to have the opportunity to do that. That's going to come from our hard work and dedication to the sport. As far as being black players in the league, obviously it's great.

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.

For [Malcolm Subban] I know that he's the No. 1 ranked goalie in North America and the world right now, he's got a great opportunity. He's got to enjoy this whole process because it only comes once. Not that many players get the opportunity to walk up on that stage and get that jersey.

I'm the oldest, I have the most experience, and I'm the best looking [betwin brothers]. I've been told that on numerous occasions.

Magic Johnson is my biggest role model and I am his biggest fan. I actually met him recently and ran up to him and said, "man, I am your biggest fan, I'm P.K. Subban," and he said "I know who you are," and I was like, "what!" I was blown away just standing there talking to him and he was so nice.

I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them.
