Growing up, I was always the small guy.

It really doesn't matter or concern me what people are saying or who thinks who is the favorite. The bottom line is you have to play.

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

I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, "Geez, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool."

It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL

Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull and Jean Béliveau probably looked at us in the '80s and said, "These guys are soft. We used to take the train."

My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
