“So much of what holds us back in life are the long-held resentments stemming from childhood.”

Joy is a big stress buster too. Measure your success by how much fun you’re having.

Dreams are the way to unfulfilled wishes in the individual; visions are the way to unfulfilled dreams in mankind.

Repeating a new behavior is what makes change stick.

The key to serenity is trusting that the universe has your back.

If you’re stuck in traffic, call a friend or listen to a favorite podcast. If you’re waiting in a long line, make friends with a person in line with you. There are lots of ways we can change the vibe.

All the happiness, self-confidence, and support you’re seeking is already within you.

Putting your well-being first – like putting your oxygen mask on before you help the person next to you – that really benefits all your relationships.

What you believe, you receive.

Resentment creates stress.

When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in.

The great paradox is that our lack of faith in love and miracles is what blocks us from receiving love and miracles.

The simple intention to surrender control is all you need to experience miracles.

You let go of the past, and stop bringing the past into the present and replaying it into the future. You release guilt, shame, and you can create an entirely new pattern for yourself.

Most people don’t walk around the tools to process pain and fear, that kind of discomfort. In most cases, it’s unbearable to look at it, feel it, and/or address it. It’s why I’m such a fan of self-help books.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness – changing your thoughts and energy around that person – can lower stress.

I believe that simple, consistent shifts in our thinking and actions can lead to the miraculous in all aspects of our daily lives, including our relationships, finances, bodies, and self-image.

I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual. And yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.

One thing I teach my children and want everyone to know that even if you happen to be on a pedestal you should have the capacity to turn around and say, ‘I don’t know’. We are scared to go wrong. Downfall is part of life.

By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I’m still healthy.

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

We played in an era where you were taught to hate your opponent. But life changes. I raise my kids differently than my mom and dad raised their kids.

Kids don’t fight in minor hockey anymore. There’s very few fights in junior and college hockey. So growing up, all these guys are not fighting.

When toys are not given to the child, they cry for a moment, but if a child is not given the knowledge of behavior, he then cries for his whole life.

I really wanted to write a book [99: Stories of the Game] on the tradition and history of the league, where kids can pick it up and read it and learn things and say, “Geez, I didn’t know that. That’s pretty cool.”
