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

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.

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.

Playing in the NHL, it's a great job, it's a great life to live, and we just want to have the opportunity to do that. That's going to come from our hard work and dedication to the sport. As far as being black players in the league, obviously it's great.

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

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