I've seen 48 Stanley Cups in my life. I was about six or seven when I started going to games with my dad.
By 1946, I knew Detroit was the best hockey city in the Original Six.
In the NHL, 95 percent of success is confidence.
It doesn't matter whether I'm in an NHL arena, at a local rink, or on a sheet of ice in the middle of a baseball stadium: when I'm around the game, I feel at home.
People didn't know the difference between a blue line and a clothes line.
I don't think any one person will ever be bigger than the game.
Growing up in Canada, most kids from Canada dream of playing in the NHL, and they also hope one day to be on a Stanley Cup team. That was a big goal.
I always thought Ray Bourque was a great competitor.
I was impressed all my life. Because of the Montreal Canadiens' past, it means a lot because it was a team I cherished as a kid. It was my dream playing for the Montreal Canadiens - it was my dad's team.
I always watch NHL, NBA, NFL games and don't miss tennis and golf.
No one in Montreal learns how to skate. You're just born that way.
Ice hockey is a form of disorderly conduct in which the score is kept.
If I weren't acting, I think I'd want to be a professional hockey player.
I think the NHL has done a great job of building the sport as far as getting the people's attention and letting them know what's going on in hockey - especially when the powers meet each other.
My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.
By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.
Here in Denver, we want to thank Jeremy Jacobs for the way he runs his business. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten Ray Bourque and won a Stanley Cup.
If you jump out of a plane without a parachute, does that make you brave? No, I think that makes you stupid. I will never play without the mask again.
When we've got the puck, they can't score.
I grew up trying to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, not Team Canada. Didn't even know it existed.
I love the St. Louis Blues, it's the only team I openly root for.
Darren McCarty is a big video game guy, and he brings his systems with him on the road.
My grandmother was from Guelph, Ont. I grew up playing ice hockey, I'm a massive fan. A great-uncle who was in the early days of the NHL played for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Mario Lemieux is Mr. Pittsburgh.
I grew up such a fan. It was my life. Everything I did was hockey related and everything I have is because of hockey and the NHL.
