It's really nice to get them outside at 6, 7 or 8 o'clock where they're in the backyard skating and I don't have to worry about them getting into trouble. It's nice to look out the back window and see the kids messing around on the ice ? as long as they're not fighting, which happens often.

That's one of the best things, to be honest with you. If we go out and have a few drinks with a couple of adults, they're usually hockey parents. The kids hang around with kids who play hockey. If you think about it, our whole lives are based around it.

Hockey is real important because it gives my kids something to do. It's a big part of our lives, a big part of our lives.
