I get a lot of parents coming up to me, telling me they are grooming their kids to be professional athletes. I'm really against that.

It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.

No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.

You miss every shot you don't take.
