And it's not just like a job.

It's serious to a lot of people and it's fun.

So I think that would have probably been those Detroit playoff series as a kid were the first kind of moments you realize how cool it was.

I was in Michigan at the world junior stuff.

So I wasn't, I was with my mom.

Obviously she was there, but I was with a lot of the guys that I had played in Chicago with.

So that was pretty cool to, to share that day with a lot of them just because it was offsite.

And yeah,

You got a chance to kind of be around guys that you had taken those steps with and people that supported you throughout the way.

I think it's cool being with them.

And then obviously going out to talk to my mom and she was excited when I got drafted and it was to Arizona.

So we got a chance to talk to him on the phone pretty quickly after, which was super cool.

Yeah, I think we were talking about it before that –

He would owe me, I don't know, we had some wager in the summertime about something and I was going to play in Tucson and we went to Abbotsford a couple of times.

So if I scored while he was present in the building that he had to take his shirt off in Abbotsford.

Not many people would have saw, except the people in the building, and it just would have been awkward for him.

And he agreed to it, but my aunt, my mom's sister, had vetoed him when I scored in Abbotsford.

So she didn't want the secondhand embarrassment of being there, which is fair.

But my little cousins kept him to his word, and

Uh, they weren't supposed to be in Arizona for my first game.
