YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THIS COMMUNITY . WHY ? WHERE DID THIS SENSE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE COME FROM ? MS I think it ’ s just the way I was brought up . Obviously , not everyone has the opportunity that we , as NHL players have , to get involved in community service and I believe that if you get the opportunity to help just one person , it ’ s well worth the time and effort . If it ’ s $ 5 or a $ 1,000 or just your time , whatever it takes to help someone in need or someone who ’ s struggling , that ’ s the reason I feel I have to do it . I think that ’ s the biggest thing for me . We ’ re very fortunate to get to play in the NHL and be a face in the community who can make change and when I get that chance to help a person or a family going through a tough time , I have to jump at it .
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THE FANS ABOUT YOUR HOCKEY CLUB ? WHAT SHOULD FANS KNOW THAT THEY DON ’ T KNOW NOW ? MS We have a lot of character . We have guys who want to get better . You see that at every practice and in every game . We have guys who go out a half an hour early for practice and stay an hour late . When I see guys like that , I gain a ton of respect for them . Our guys , whether he ’ s a guy on the first line or the fourth line , he wants to be the best player he can be . Guys want to work hard and get better and for me , teammates like that will always be in my good books . If you ’ re making yourself better , you ’ re making me better and you ’ re making this team better and those are the type of guys we have here . I ’ m very proud of this hockey team .
