It was the best four years of my life. I definitely learned a lot both on-and-off the ice.

It was important to tell people. To let people know that this can happen. Your child's body can stop. Stop breathing, stop beating.

Suddenly, you will stop, you and me and all of us. Your lungs will rest at last and the electric pulse in your pulse will vanish into the darkness from which it came.

Put your fingers in your ears, lay your head on the pillow, listen to the footsteps of your blood.

You are alive.

It was frustrating to see us play so well for 25 or 26 minutes. Then it was like a different team out there.

It's an attractive market for anyone.

A seventh-round pick doesn't have much bargaining power. I was just happy to sign, and hopefully they were happy to sign me.
