Some players may have had a drink too many the night before the game. I didn't have that problem because I was either too cheap, or didn't like the stuff.

My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar.

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.

The first time I met Wayne Gretzky... he never said anything back.
