Did you always know that you were going to be a coach eventually?

Because you played at Colorado College from my understanding.

Did you know after you played that you were going to hop into coaching?

Was it always in you?

And also, how has it been for you evolving as a coach?

Because we talk constantly about how you have to talk to these players nowadays.

And even like Rick talking, a guy who was so hardcore as a player and maybe the way that he had Keenan, but he talked about in Vancouver how he has to massage these relationships constantly and make sure each guy is getting attention.

So have you felt that you've had to do that throughout the years and how you've progressed as a coach?

I'm sticking with the international theme here.

Something really cool that's happening for the first time, and G brought it up.

My understanding is you're going to be coaching a team that's going over to the Spangler Cup

which is a combination of all the top U.S.

Is it U.S.-born college players?

So what do you think about this?

And what an opportunity for you to go over there.

And I mean, the building over there is iconic.

It's not done yet.

No, no, I was kidding.

I was kidding.
