Basketball isn't as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada.

I use a lot of balance training and functional training. Basically it's where you add an element of instability to a regular exercise. So whether it's on the physioball or the Bosu ball or just balancing on one leg, I try to incorporate an instable plane and/or movement to the exercise, so the body's doing two or more movements.

People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.

You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity

I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.

I think you can get too focused on the championship and forget how rewarding it is to be part of a team.

I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.
