The Power Of Who Provides Great Lessons

In One Sense We Are A Favorite Because We Won A Gold Medal In 2002.

I Think A Lot Of Parents Live Their Lives Through The Kids. Because They Didn't Make It [achieve Something], They Want Their Kids To Make It. It Puts A Lot Of Undue Pressure On The Kids.

If We're Going To Change The Game It Has To Start At Eight, Nine And 10 Years Old. When We Were That Age We'd Go To The Pond Or Backyard Rink And Throw A Puck On The Ice And Play Five On Five, Or Seven On Seven. You Get This Creativity And This Imagination That Comes From Within, Just Having Fun On The Pond. Now Kids Are So Focused On Team Play, And The Coaches Are So Focused On Positioning. You Can't Change It At The Nhl Level.

The Game Is Played Out Of Instinct, But Everyone On The Ice Has Habits - Good And Bad. So The Key To The Game Is To Exploit The Bad Habits Of Your Opponent.

As A Player, You Have One Responsibility, To Focus Yourself And Be Ready For The Game. As A Coach, Your Responsibility Is To Get 20 Guys Ready And Have Them All On The Same Page. If You Can't Get Every Guy Ready Every Night, You're Going To Struggle.
