I couldn't wait to get on the ice. I couldn't wait to get to practice. As a kid, I couldn't wait to shoot pucks or play in parking lots, or play on the river or play on the bay.
Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.
I grew up in Wisconsin loving hockey. I mean, I started when I was three years old on skates.
I know hockey is growing in the U.S., and it's becoming more popular, but anything to get the game out there and see how we view it. We view it as the best game in the world.
I have been practising since I was 4 or 5 years old, but that wasn't really practice. I was just having fun.... I just loved to play hockey.
I'm a die-hard NHL fan. I can't get enough.
I am a huge hockey fan.
We're a huge hockey family. I took to it really quickly, and I was in love with it.
To me, hockey was always tremendous fun. That's what kept me going for so long. I simply love to play hockey.
The greatest hockey player who ever lived: Bobby Orr, and I love him.
Listen, everything I have in my life is because of the NHL and because of hockey, and I love the game and I loved every minute of being a player, I loved coaching, I loved being involved in the NHL.
Halifax is a big hockey city. Everyone loves the game here and really enjoys anyone who has had success.
You don't love hockey for the scores, you love hockey for the fights, right?
