Retirement from Professional Hockey

“I may not have been the most talented player but I played the game with every ounce of my commitment and determination to win. If I can have a career in professional hockey then every kid can dream the dream.”

“I have a number of people to thank for the last 20 years. I’d like to thank all my teammates, trainers, management, coaches, owners and those who have taken many into their hearts and into their homes.”

“I was very fortunate to be here a long time. I kiss my lucky charms as one of the few guys who got to play here for so long and become a household name in this city is something that obviously always will remember for the rest of your life.”
