I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do.

I want to be the best player possible.

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'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.

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

I think every athlete will tell you no matter what sport you're in, when you train so hard and when you care so much about doing what you do, there's a little bit of nerves that come with that. But nerves that won't prevent you form performing, nerves that, hopefully, allow you to be that much more motivated and inspired to do well.

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