The biggest thing for me is the passion that I've always had for hockey. I remember growing up, no matter what I did in life, my parents always told me to try to do my best at it and be my best. I can say going through different things that passion is the most important part. It's not skills or talent or any of that stuff.

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.

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

It's not that hard to stay grounded. It's the way I was brought up.

There's no doubt I'm emotional.

For every whack I've given, I've gotten four or five.

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