I've always had a passion for hockey, ... That's the key. You can't be putting in time. You have to enjoy doing what you do.

I'd never complain about the attention - ever. I feel very fortunate to be doing what I love to do. Not everyone gets that chance every day. This is just part of it, and it comes down to managing my time to make sure I concentrate on my passion, which is the hockey, and have time away from hockey.

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

My dad introduced me to the game, gave me a stick. Since then I've had a passion for it.

I think that everyone has an equal right to play and I think we've been supportive of that. With the Olympics and the controversy around that I think those decisions and those laws aren't necessarily something that I agree with personally ... their laws and their views.

Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

Teach your parents well.
