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 got the experience, I got the strength, I got the talent, I got the famous jump hook. That's my move.

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

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

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.

We've [me and brother] been playing hockey for a long time, since we were little kids. I started playing hockey at two and a half. Obviously, playing hockey we want to be known as good hockey players and hard working guys that earn everything they get.

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.
