You Know, I've Held Women And Babies

One Of The Key Qualities That You Need To Be A Great Hockey Player Is Fantastic Anticipation And Feel For The Game - If You Know Where The Puck Is Going Before It Is Hit, That Is Half The Battle.

I Get A Lot Of Parents Coming Up To Me, Telling Me They Are Grooming Their Kids To Be Professional Athletes. I'm Really Against That. I Think It's A Great Life, And Yeah, You Can Lead Them In That Direction. I Think A Lot Of Parents Live Their Lives Through The Kids. Because They Didn't Make It, They Want Their Kids To Make It. It Puts A Lot Of Undue Pressure On The Kids.

Competitive Spirit Is Still At A Premium. The More You Win, The Better You Play, The More Money You Make, So They All Have That In Mind.

When I Broke Into Professional Hockey At 17 I Was Told That I Was Too Small And Too Slow And I Wouldn't Make The Nhl. Now It's Kind Of Flip-flopped And The Sense Is I Can't Be A Good Coach Because I Was A Great Athlete.

Most Players Go Where The Puck Is. I Go Where The Puck Will Be.
