I mean the NHL never called me and wanted me to show up at the draft.

A huge part of my passion for the sport comes from being Canadian and growing up watching Hockey Night in Canada on CBC with my parents and siblings.

Silence is golden! [Malcolm Subban] knows not to talk too much smack cause you don't want to give me that incentive right?

I like my R&B, my hip-hop. But I'm old school, I don't like a lot of new stuff. Though I do like a little bit of Meek Mill. He kind of sounds angry when he's rapping so I like that part of the game.

I'll stutter step, then drop the shoulder, a little pump, a little Kobe Game 7 fade-away, and the hooks coming too. And Malcolm [Subban] knows, he's got an inch on me but he can't defend that. He knows that.

Hockey taught me to challenge myself and be the best I can be on and off the ice.

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