It is so important to me to have my time away from hockey. Obviously, hockey is my passion; I love it. But definitely for me, time away from the rink and time when my mind isn't thinking about hockey is important.

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.

The best way for me to lead is through my game.

I try to stay pretty level-headed and just do what I have to do.

I'll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.

I want to be the best. So whatever comes with that, I have to accept it.
