Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.

Kids don't fight in minor hockey anymore. There's very few fights in junior and college hockey. So growing up, all these guys are not fighting.

When people come up to me and say, "I was at your Game 7 in the playoffs in Toronto," or, "I saw your first goal in the NHL," that triggers memories. But I don't sit around my kitchen table and tell my kids, "You know, one year I got 92 goals."

Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.

I heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.

People in general want to build somebody up and then try to knock them down. They always root for the underdog.

In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.
