Hockey Inspirations: "Probably Al Arbour, because he wore glasses and I wore glasses. I remember, as a kid, you couldn't play hockey if you had a sunken chest, knock knees and you wore glasses. I wore glasses since I was 10. I was just talking about this with James Patrick (Sabres assistant coach). Then I saw those old Esso hockey cards - one was of Al Arbour and he had glasses on. I thought, ‘Oh, I could play hockey.’ It's funny, as it turned out, I later worked with Al Arbour with the Islanders and we have remained friends today."
