In Canada, for boys, your identity is built on hockey. It's your social position; it's everything. And I was the worst hockey player of Canada.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.

I wanted to be a hockey player. Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used. I was terrible in school and actually said, 'I'm going to be a hockey player.'

What I did as a hockey player, nobody can ever take it away, ... It's done, it's over. I loved it. I had more fun at the games than anybody. Now I have this new chapter. We'll see in time what happens.

It's the easiest thing in the game of hockey, and I was a player, that you always turn back and try to blame the goaltender. There's no excuse there. Curtis will be fine. It's not Curtis' fault that we got beat 8-4.
