Mario Lemieux

My son, he is the reason I got involved. It's been a joy to be around him and teach him the stuff that I know, and to the other kids as well. When he started playing I wanted to be involved in his hockey career. It's a lot of fun for both of us.

I'm sorry I didn't feel any better or play any better, but that's what happens at the end of careers.

It's up to the community now to decide if they want to keep this team.

All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly.

When I'm able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I'm able to make some pretty good plays.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

I'm only 35, and I felt that the time was right to try to come back and have a chance for him to see me play.
