Growing up, watching the New Jersey Devils, I watched players like Ken Daneyko, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, old school players who respected the game.

Coming into a new dressing room is exciting.

I think that in all aspects of the game, especially in professional sports but specifically in hockey, we want to grow the game.

A Hall of Famer isn't just the guy who put up great numbers. It's the guy who has changed the sport for the better, who has had an impact.

There are not many Chicagos, where people go out and support their sports teams, whether they are struggling or not.

You treat characters like people you meet in life-friends or mentors.

Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.

I love to compete. To me, business is the ultimate sport. It's always on. There is always someone trying to beat me.
