I saw a hockey game where they threw the puck aside and just started fighting. I saw that, and I'm like, 'So I'm the thug?'

I know some 'thugs,' and they know I'm the furthest thing from a thug. I've fought that my whole life, just coming from where I'm coming from.

Peabody is a talented hockey club, but our game plan was to get the puck in the zone, cycle and crash the net. And there were a heck of a lot of chances we missed.

To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field - don't judge a person's character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family.

He was on his back. I don't think he ever saw where the puck was. He just made a swat at it. That's why he's one of the premiere players in the league. He makes plays like that.

Hockey is a tough game.
