Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.
You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists.
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
I heard Rolex makes nice watches.
All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.
A woman at 20 is like ice, at 30 she is warm and at 40 she is hot.
I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey.
Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.
Goals live on the other side of obstacles and challenges. Be relentless in pursuit of those goals, especially in the face of obstacles. Along the way, make no excuses and place no blame.
Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.
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.

When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates, and the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back. Get that through your head!
Great moments are born from great opportunities.
When I was a kid, I remember playing hockey outside and whenever you did, you thought about playing for Finland vs. Sweden. Thats just the way it was.
No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.
The biggest thing for me is the passion that I've always had for hockey. I remember growing up, no matter what I did in life, my parents always told me to try to do my best at it and be my best. I can say going through different things that passion is the most important part. It's not skills or talent or any of that stuff.
Talent is a gift, but you can only succeed with hard work.
You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
Every day is a great day for hockey.
If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard.
I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.
I found out that if you are going to win games, you had better be ready to adapt.
