My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar.

My dad played fiddle as well.

When I played in Detroit on a line with Sid Abel and Ted Lindsay, we got used to each other, but it took time. And the more we played together the better we knew where each of us was on the ice. Also, the players must have enough time to interact with each other.

If Colleen Howe had been a hockey player, she would have been a centremen. I can see her as a centreman because you can do what you want and go wherever you want to go.

There's always something in the game you wish you would have done different. That's why players improve, because they learn from what they did before. They might have been guessing before, but now they know.

You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time.
