My dad has always said to me, "where there is a will there is a way" and this is the type of dedication hockey has taught me. Being dedicated to this sport [hockey] has been my will to play.

I really don't care what the other team thinks. I don't care what their fans think. If they hate me, great. Hate me. We'll just keep winning, I'll keep scoring and we'll move on.

Hockey taught me to challenge myself and be the best I can be on and off the ice.

I try to hold it in until I get on the ice, then in front of the net sometimes I'll pass gas.

I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them.

Hockey is an amazing sport and it has definitely had a positive impact on my life. But my dad always said school comes first, and if I didn't do well in school I didn't get to play hockey.

Growing up, it was tough to balance, but looking back I appreciate my parents' efforts to make sure I was well-rounded.

Playing the sport has taught me about teamwork and how to be a good team player, social skills and most importantly, dedication.

I'm the oldest, I have the most experience, and I'm the best looking [betwin brothers]. I've been told that on numerous occasions.

A huge part of my passion for the sport comes from being Canadian and growing up watching Hockey Night in Canada on CBC with my parents and siblings.

My patria vera or true fatherland is the place that enriches my soul.

To get lost, all you need is poetry.

If you want to be a physicist, you must do three things-first, study mathematics, second, study more mathematics, and third, do the same.

There is no art without intention.

[on what characteristics Nobel prize winning physicists had in common] I cannot think of a single one, not even intelligence.

Libraries help you to dream!

I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times. We all do.

Inside a dark well, everyman's favourite colour is blue!

How beautiful it is for a man to die Upon the walls of Zion! to be called Like a watch-worn and weary sentinel, To put his armour off, and rest in heaven!

Christians claim that life has no meaning if you stop pretending to know things you don't know, though they phrase it more tersely as life has no meaning without faith.
