I Grew Up Such A Fan. It

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

It's Really Hard. And It's Harder Today Because Of The Salary Cap. It Starts In September At Training Camp - Getting Every Guy On The Same Page, Being As Mentally And Physically As Focused As You Can Be. Then In April And May, You Basically Spend Eight Weeks Practising, Watching Video And Playing Games. That's Your Life.

I Miss 100% Of The Shots I Don't Take.

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.

I Wasn't Naturally Gifted In Terms Of Size And Speed; Everything I Did In Hockey I Worked For, And That's The Way I'll Be As A Coach.
