As a kid growing up in the little city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I dreamed of one day playing in the NHL, but never did I expect it to be as much fun as it turned out to be. ↗

A big part of my decision is not made about whether I'm able to coach in the NHL or if I'm ready to step up and take that challenge. Basically, it's about my family, it's about my children, and this is where my decision is going to have to be made. ↗

I don't want to play games with anybody, to our fans, to Pierre Lacroix, or any other NHL team that might have interest in me. ↗

I found my prince - he's a hockey player and we met at an NHL event, the last place I'd ever expect to meet someone, but there he was. ↗

You know there are so many people that have touched your life both on the ice and within your career in the NHL whether it be owners, GM's, coaches, players, trainers, all the way down. And that doesn't even account for all of the people that you encountered outside of the game that you met along this trip, too. ↗

Anybody who says they don't like fighting in the NHL have to be out of their minds. ↗

A lot of the players are not involved with any NHL team, so to play and travel around with the Oldtimers' it's a kind of gift that the players really appreciate. ↗

Anyway, I've never been captain in 16 years in the NHL. But that didn't stop me being a leader in my own way. ↗
