Well, it's always nice to know the fans didn't forget what you did when you played in the NHL.

I was working on the farm to get in shape, about a mile away from my parents. You know, I did everything as a kid to stay in shape - jogging, work on the farm, driving the tractor. I'll never forget.

It's nice to see the young ones 7, 8, 9 years old. It seems like they know you through their parents.

It's nice to go to small places where we had a lot of fans. They followed our career and it's kind of a way to say thank you to them and do it for a good cause.

A lot of the players are not involved with any NHL team, so to play and travel around with the Oldtimers' it's a kind of gift that the players really appreciate.

Anyway, I've never been captain in 16 years in the NHL. But that didn't stop me being a leader in my own way.
