It was unfortunate what happened with the Edmonton Ice when they were here. But I think this would be a great junior city. It's a city that loves its hockey and their passion for the game. Junior hockey is exciting hockey. It's young kids trying to make the jump, trying to sign contracts, trying to get drafted.

I got speared twice, so that's why I reacted like I reacted.

You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.
