It adds to the stress. I wish I didn't have to think about school right now.

Every issue that we had, we laid it out on the table. If you do something wrong, the type of attitude we have on this team is someone's going to call you out. That's good. You need that. If you don't have it, you have a problem.

Everyone has something to say and everyone listens. Everyone gets along.

I felt like I was with family again.

I think I did pretty well.

It's a family tradition now, I think. My dad wore (the jersey), and being a Badger is in our blood. I thank my family every day for the sacrifices they made. It's just the coolest feeling to be at this level of hockey playing for Wisconsin and being a Badger. It's surreal at times.
