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.

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.

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

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

[Malcolm Subban] is probably winning the battle cause we had a couple skates together and I didn't score too much on him. So I guess I'll say that I'm waiting for the game to score on him.

I have to say I have the most experience. I'm a veteran when it comes to that, [my brothers] they're still learning. They have lots of potential. They're like first-round picks right now in the game, they still have to develop.

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