“It's good hockey, and there are a lot of former WHL players. I'd say it's more physical because the guys are older and bigger, and you play in different-sized rinks.”
Darrell May
“I always say, it doesn't matter how busy I am and how early in the morning it is. The one thing I can always manage to get energy for is to see my kid (Ben) play hockey. I love my job as prime minister, but if you could be a hockey player, I mean, what could be better than that?”
Stephen Harper
“I've coached some good hockey players, but he's the best player I've ever coached. This guy, I always knew he was a good player, but I had no idea he was this good.”
Mike Babcock
“We did things hockey players don't ordinarily do, but all the guys took it well. It was very physical. Imagine pushing an 8,000-pound car uphill. I think it made us closer. You learn a lot about each other. Nobody quit. You're not ashamed to look each other in the eye after that.”
Darius Kasparaitis
“We have a lot of good, young players at USA Hockey and a lot of guys coming. We can take the positives out of this game and out of the whole tournament.”
Don Waddell
“A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.”
Wayne Gretzky
“Sometimes guys need to cry. Some hockey players think they're too tough to cry.”
Brett Hull
