I think I'm a mama's boy who wanted to be a hockey player, who failed, and had to become a singer. I think that I'm a generous, impatient, kind, jerk.

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

The greatest hockey player who ever lived: Bobby Orr, and I love him.

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.

I think whenever anyone asked me why I wanted to be a hockey player, that's where it all started, watching the Winnipeg Jets play as a young kid.

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.
