I don't think there's ever a time where I step back and say I wish I was something different. I'm doing what I love to do.

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I think as a Canadian hockey player, you go through it in your mind so many times, being able to stand on that blue line and hear your national anthem play and being a gold medal champion, you dream of that. And then to be able to accomplish that and actually win a gold medal and represent your country its an amazing feeling.

I don't think you're human if you don't get nervous.

I have been practising since I was 4 or 5 years old, but that wasn't really practice. I was just having fun.... I just loved to play hockey.

People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.

It's been really slow obviously, but I'm not worried about that. I feel like from where I was a couple months ago, things are a lot better. Just being able to skate and stuff was encouraging. Hopefully the next step doesn't have any hurdles.
