It was quite a unique experience, obviously, to be 15 years old when he was done.

So a lot of memories is when I was in my early teens, getting to go to the rink with him and watch him play.

I think going to the World Championships as a kid was always super exciting for me and getting to watch him play there.

But I'd say one of the cooler memories would be at the All-Star Game in Montreal, getting to be a part of that with him or my sister on the bench when...

he somehow won the shootout competition.

Somehow.

But he did.

So I guess I tip my cap to him on that.

But it was just stuff like that where you're around the game and you get to experience that kind of stuff where you get to interact with him and his teammates in those events and

And kind of enjoy the moment with them where you don't realize how cool they are until you get a little bit older.

And looking back at it, it's pretty special.

Yeah, I think growing up, I just loved hockey, and it was because, obviously, he did it, but then just how much fun I had playing it or with him in the backyard or garage and stuff like that.

And then I was probably around 10 or 11 when you kind of realize what he did was pretty cool, and...

Not a lot of people can do that at that level.

And I don't know, there wasn't really a time where I thought I was going to be able to really perform at that level or play at that level.

I think there was some tough years growing up where he obviously helped me a ton in getting now to where I am from then.

But I think growing up, you don't really realize it because he is dad for the majority of your childhood.

And then at some point, you come to realize that it's pretty cool doing what he's doing.

I mean...

Probably the first time they made the playoffs that I could remember as a kid was you realize how important the game is and how big it is.
