I think Reba was hurt at the time.

Uh, it wasn't taking part in, in camp.

So, uh, yeah, that was, uh, yeah, he, uh, he gave me that call, you know, I think probably about a month ago and asked me to go on the, uh, on the mentors trip.

And, you know, it was an amazing honor.

I,

you know i didn't even look at my schedule i'm like yeah you know what i'll make it make it work if you're uh if you're asking so you know another guy is just a huge character i'm coming in tough as nails great person and uh you know he's for a guy to you know stick in the league as long as he has uh being one of the toughest uh year after year and then

adapting his game and getting better every year.

So proud of him.

Yeah, it did.

Uh, you know, you see a different side of it too.

I mean, you go in there and be obviously proud of real, but you know, kind of sitting back getting, you know, getting the chills when he's squared off against Olivier and just, you know, so proud and you see all the dads around, but yeah, that, that group is, it seems very special.

And yeah,

it starts with Rebo.

And I think every one of the coaches pulled me aside and just said how much Rebo means to that team, how he keeps everybody loose, keeps them accountable.

And so, you know, that even made me even more proud that, you know, I'm a proud father.

But, yeah, now that team, you know, sitting talking to, you know, celebrating you two, what a special kid he is.

I talked to his dad a little bit, too, and just told him, just so you know, your kid is special, and it's not just on the ice.

He's a great person, treats everybody very well, and really enjoys the game.

What was his dad like just in talking to him?

Did you pick his brain at all?
