“I went to the Hall of Fame with my dad. I can’t say I really remember too much about it.”

Even the superstars need to be coached once in awhile.

I can’t be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that’s what I wanted. I wanted feedback, I wanted communication from the boss.

I grew up trying to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, not Team Canada. Didn’t even know it existed.

I was a punk. I think that’s why I’m such a good person now, because I was such a bad guy then.

I was 19 years old, pumping gas and going nowhere.

You eat and sleep it all day long and play on the streets until mom calls you in.

Assistant coaches become a little bit more buddies to the players than a head coach.

Growing up as a kid my father was British and a soccer player.

I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that’s the kind of coach I want to be.

I was kind of a high school dropout at that point because I had left school to play hockey, but no one drafted me.

Our family thought if you could be unselfish your teammates would always like you.

His idol was a guy that passed the ball a lot, Stanley Matthews.

My story is no different than anybody else’s.

I’m a husband and a dad. Two thirds of my day is spent being that character. It’s a huge part of my identity and why I pursue things I do. I’m interested in questions my son asks me, like, “Why do animals fight? Why do you have to leave us to go on the road?”

My dad read The Hobbit to me originally when I was young. So, it was the first imaginary landscape I ever had in my head from the written word. It gave me a passion for reading, thanks to my dad’s performance of the book.

I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won’t even start eating until he’s sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.

Ill paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad.

I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it’s paid off.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

My dad once told me that the secret to a happy life was never to start something with a girl unless you were willing to follow wherever it led. It’s the best piece of advice he has ever given me, and probably the reason I was born.
