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

I grew up in Wisconsin loving hockey. I mean, I started when I was three years old on skates.

I liked hockey, and I still like hockey.

I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.

Definitely, I got a reputation growing up playing on the guys' hockey teams. The guys knew how tough I was because I played with them. I got quite a good reputation for beating up boys going up through school.

Even in Canada, I never even played ice hockey. I never skated in my life; I always did rollerblade street hockey.

I grew up playing every sport.

I will openly admit that I've never really followed hockey. Given my New England upbringing, I have always adhered to the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins mantra of professional sports fandom, but hockey was definitely the lowest sport on the totem pole - even when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.

I watch a lot of hockey. There are some good hockey players and there are some awfully stupid hockey players.

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.
