There are some guys you definitely would not want dating your sister - especially hockey players.

A lot of things drive me. What it comes down to is that I want to be the best.

You can curse the darkness or light a candle. The choice is yours.

They left us together for a reason. Let's show them why.

No, that's not true. I didn't see his place that much, but he's a good kid and I had fun playing with him.

Sometimes I didn't want to skate. My dad would push me so hard to get better.

I'm playing against men who are bigger and stronger than I'm used to. I've definitely got to bulk up at some point.
