I'm probably the only guy in hockey who can win a scoring title and everybody is saying I had a bad year. I don't worry about it.

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.

The only way a kid is going to practise is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.

I have recall. I don't know why or how. I had a guy once who said he played against me in novice [league, for kids under nine], for the Detroit Lasers. And I said, "Oh yeah, we beat you in the tournament, 8-1 and I think I scored seven goals, and the goalie was left-handed." And he was, "Oh my God. I was the goalie!" .

Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

Nothing can replace the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I was so proud when I played in '98 and I was so proud when we won in 2002.

I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.
