Usually when I wielded a hockey stick, it meant somebody was going to get hurt. This is just a friendly match.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.
I feel like I got hit with a lucky stick.
In a hockey fight, barring the occasional brawl, there's actually some etiquette that goes into it. Honor, too, absolutely. Most of those guys that do it, that's their job, and they follow a certain code of conduct in doing it.
Playing hockey, there were a lot of guys bigger than me, so I knew I was going to get hit and have to deal with it. Gotta hit back.
When you fight on set, you try to not hurt anybody.
I was a hockey player growing up. Being a big guy and being imposing, I had to use my size to protect my teammates.
My dad had this thing - everyone in Canada wants to play hockey; that's all they want to do. So when I was a kid, whenever we skated my dad would not let us on the ice without hockey sticks, because of this insane fear we would become figure skaters!
I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.
I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That's not the type of player I am.
I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game.
