- Style of play: I like to have the puck. I think two of my strengths are play-making and stick handling. When the puck is on my stick, I like to do something with it and I think I see the ice pretty well - so that's definitely a bonus.
- His Game: Vincent Lecavalier is a good player for me (to watch). I just love the way he plays. He does everything: scores, hits, he's a leader out there. I just try to model myself as much as I can after him.
- Start in hockey: Actually, when I was two, my dad got me in skates. He used to build a rink in the backyard. He was a huge Montreal Canadiens fan. So he just loved the game of hockey. As soon as he had me, he had the mindset that I was going to play hockey. About the age of four, I started getting into organized hockey. It just went from there.
