First Hockey Memory: “I think probably from pictures. But I remember my dad took me out to skate when I was four-years-old.”

First Famous Player You Met Or Encountered: “Patrick Roy. When I was young I was going up to hockey school and his son was there. And when he came into juniors he was obviously my coach and his son became one of my best friends. (Son’s name?) Frederic.”
Greatest Sports Moment(s): “Winning the Stanley Cup. And I would say my first goal in the NHL.”

Strangest Game: “My best friend in junior, Michel Tam, got hit in the head and he started convulsing. So that was terrible. And we had to continue the game. So it was just terrible memory. (Did he recover okay?) Yeah yeah. He’s actually in Norway and doing good over there.”
Why Do You Love Playing Hockey: “Passion. I love the game. I love how it gets played. How it gets intense. And I just love it.”
Funniest Players Encountered: “I think a guy like Bish (Ben Bishop) is funny. I don’t know – I’ve met so many funny players. Obviously in junior you’re really tight with the group there. The same guys that come there year after year. But I think Bish is one of the funniest guys.”
