It's never been easy. But I've always wanted to play hockey. I love hockey. I'd rather play hockey than do anything else. If you have that kind of desire, I think you can achieve what you want to achieve.

I'm into the Play Station now and I just got the Super Nintendo. I like the sports a lot, like hockey and football. I recently got into these solve-a-mystery games. They're like a bad drug. They just chuck two weeks out of your life.

I think that the best teams don't always just have the best players, but the players who play the best together.

The more you play competitive sports, whether you're a girl or a boy, it tends to raise testosterone levels. It used to be girls got the message: 'Girls don't hit.' But now, even if you say that to girls, it's patently not true.

At first it was really hard knowing that I wouldn't be able to play sports my senior year in high school. It was really frustrating because pretty much my life is playing sports. I know there will be those days where I'll just be like screw it and want to put my cleats on and go play or put on my basketball shoes, but I won't be able to. At first it was really hard, but I might as well make the best of it.

It's an underdog story about college sports. Rudy has always wanted to play for Notre Dame, and he actually makes the team.
