I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.

I haven't yet figured out how I was made first captain, because I was not an outstanding student. I was an adequate student.

The captain thing was really an honor, and it was really flattering for me. It was really something that I didn't expect, and I would say that was the highlight of my career so far, being elected captain by my peers.

I always thought that I played better when I was the captain. If you look at my record during the six years I was captain - except for a couple of series - I did very well.

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

For sure I would be a very emotional captain. A very hands-on captain.

When Wayne was traded, I became captain. For me it really wasn't anything - I didn't do anything or I didn't feel I had to do anything different than what I had been doing all along.

I don't know if I expected to be a captain of an All-Star team. It's pretty cool.

I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs.

The big upside to being captain is it's a huge honour, but the downside is that there is definitely extra pressure.
