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.

Hockey is an amazing sport and it has definitely had a positive impact on my life. But my dad always said school comes first, and if I didn't do well in school I didn't get to play hockey.

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

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

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

I really don't care what the other team thinks. I don't care what their fans think. If they hate me, great. Hate me. We'll just keep winning, I'll keep scoring and we'll move on.

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.
