I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.

I played ice hockey obsessively for 14 years of my life.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.

I love hockey. That's actually one of my favorite sports.

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 never looked at hockey as work. Now that I'd finished playing, I had to go to work.

I love my hockey, but if you can do that and go home and just be a dad and husband, then you have the best of both worlds.

I still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.
