I Have Enough Muscle Already.

It's Not About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Can So I Don't Have To Grow Up.' It's About, 'let Me Play As Long As I Enjoy It,' And When It's Time To Step Away, I Can Step Away Gracefully Even If I'm Still Good Enough To Keep Playing, Because I'm Ready For That Next Phase.

It Feels Right. But It's Emotional. Saying Goodbye To Anything You've Done That Long Is Hard.

I'm Getting More Towards That Point Where I'm Ready To Kind Of Pass The Torch On And See The Next Generation Succeed Behind Me.

As A Veteran, You're A Little More Poised On That Mental Side. But Athletically, I Didn't Really Think I Could Get Better.

I Find That I've Tried To Become A Better Hockey Player Every Year And Not Just Hold On. At The Same Time, I've Also Made It A Point To Increase Or Grow In Some Other Area Of My Life. If I Were Just Playing Hockey, I Would Probably Be Done With The Sport.
