I'm excited to be getting back on the ice and playing hockey. It's a new team, a fresh start. I look forward to having a lot of success here ... let's get camp started and get going.

I'm excited. It's a fresh start for me and I probably need that.

We got off to a tough start again. We continue to shoot ourselves in the foot and have to claw our way back. We had chances in the second and third period but came up a little short.

I'm excited, ... It's a fresh start. I need to make some good impressions and get back to where I once was. I'm not getting caught up in who's (in San Diego) and who's not there. I'm just getting a fresh start and a chance to rebuild.

Al did such a great job as captain last year. I need to focus and concentrate on helping this team win hockey games. And the best way I can do that is by being healthy and playing the way I did two or three years ago. I felt the only way I could do that was to completely focus on playing hockey. Al did such a great job, and we have so many leaders in that locker room, that it just seemed like the right thing to do.

I?m excited to be a part of the new branch, and I have great team to work with.
