I just like to keep my money in the bank I'm not a big risk-taker. I don't know anything about the stock market... I stay away from things I don't know anything about.

Hockey is my life. I love every minute of it.

Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.

In one sense we are a favorite because we won a gold medal in 2002.

I love everything about hockey.

That's the hardest part of this whole process. The best part is picking the players and the worst part is telling basically five players they are not going to play tonight.

It's easier to lose than to win.

There's no perfect coach in the world. Coaches are human, too. Mistakes are made. But, fundamentally, if you're sound, you eliminate as many mistakes as possible.

No matter who you are, we're creatures of habit. The better your habits are, the better they will be in pressure situations.

At the end of the day everybody lost. We almost crippled our industry. It was very disappointing what happened.

I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.

Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
As a player, you have one responsibility, to focus yourself and be ready for the game. As a coach, your responsibility is to get 20 guys ready and have them all on the same page. If you can't get every guy ready every night, you're going to struggle.

People talk about skating, puck handling and shooting, but the whole sport is angles and caroms, forgetting the straight direction the puck is going, calculating where it will be directed, factoring in all the interruptions. Basically, my whole game is angles.
Wayne Gretzky
Image
I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
Wayne Gretzky

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.

Growing up, I was always the small guy.

My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He'd skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.
