A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.

When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.

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

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 doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

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.

If I had to pick three players to start a franchise, I'd choose Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros.
