“We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while...” — Steve Yzerman Quote

We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting. We're stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences, or take the next step and eliminate fighting.

I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.

I've been hit hard a few times, been hit really hard a few times, but I don't think I've ever left a memorable, lasting impression on anyone I've ever hit.

It's true that in Canada, we pride ourselves on the game, and we like to think we're the dominant hockey nation in the world.

I do accept being a role model wholeheartedly because I know it is something that cannot be avoided. However, if I am careless with my role, it will be to my detriment.

It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip, or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept.
