First Hockey Memory: "Probably when I was three years old and going to the rink with my dad in the old Boston Garden and just being able to go to the rink. I couldn't even see over the boards at that point, but it was just a blast, I was extremely fortunate to be able to do that."

Hockey Inspirations: "Like as role models? I think obviously, when you have a Hall of Fame father, that's pretty easy to pick him. But I think my brother has been a great inspiration to me too. How competitive he's been with me in the past. I think inspirations - Zach Parise, just the things that he does and what he brings to the table, night in and night out. And his work ethic. I really appreciate what he does."
