I am doing what I love to do.

I look at it as a challenge, ... I'm not going to put too much added pressure on myself. I want to play in the NHL, and after that [happens], I can worry about things beyond that.

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.

It's really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.

The more you hesitate in a game, the more your chance of getting hit. Your focus isn't there. When you hesitate, usually you're in trouble.

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.

Dreams are so important. You need to have big goals and expect a lot of yourself but you have to enjoy the ride too.
