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.

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.

For us [hockey] is an opportunity, myself and my brothers have an opportunity to do something special.

I mean at the end of the day, we are still brothers [with Malcolm Subban]. But I'm also getting paid to score goals so he better watch that glove side, because I like to go glove side. I know he thinks he's got a hot glove but I'm going to have to try and expose it.

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

Growing up, it was tough to balance, but looking back I appreciate my parents' efforts to make sure I was well-rounded.
