One of my former teammates wasn't the most talented player. What he did have was drive. He was told if he got down to 200 pounds, he'd have a chance to play in the NHL. He showed up to camp at 202, made the team, and eventually became a Stanley Cup champion. Talent helps. Commitment changes careers.

The NHL Draft is tonight. Throwing it back to 1993 in an interview with TSN. Talking about my game, modeling it after Ray Bourque, the importance of education... and yes, the mullet was making a strong case to go first overall. Some things age better than others.

After years of injuries and surgeries, I've learned one thing. Movement matters. Staying active, focusing on strength, and making a few lifestyle changes have helped me feel better than I have in years. What's one habit that's made the biggest difference for your health?

The #StanleyCup is the toughest trophy in sports to win. Twenty years ago, I came up short in the Final. A year later, I got another opportunity and was fortunate enough to win it. Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes. A dominant playoff run, smart roster building, and a culture that clearly had everyone pulling in the same direction.

Back in Anaheim this week reconnecting with old friends, fans, and the Anaheim Ducks community. Dinner at Selanne Steak Tavern, media in LA then Blues vs Ducks at the Honda Center. Even ran into my old friend Jon Hamm at the game. Big things happening with OC Vibe too. Momentum is building in the OC.

I didn’t get off to a perfect start. Early in my career, I struggled with a lackadaisical work ethic and a knack for finding trouble. The talent was there but talent alone doesn’t get you where you want to go. I had to have some tough conversations with myself. Moments where I looked in the mirror and asked, is this really who you want to be? That’s when I made the decision to challenge the competitor inside me, to live up to the potential, to become the best player and the best person I could be. Period. From that moment on, I stacked the work. One rep. One skate. One game. One season at a time. The compound effect of that discipline built something greater than I ever could’ve imagined. Over time, my ability to play at a high level wasn’t the exception, it became the standard. And that’s the lesson: potential means nothing if you’re not willing to do the work. Sent

Teemu and I had our battles over the years. Big hits, playoff series, heated moments… then we became teammates in Anaheim and have been great friends ever since. That’s why having him write the foreword for EARNED meant a lot. Appreciate the friendship and support over the years.

The conversation you have with yourself matters. Elite athletes don't just visualize success. They reinforce it with positive self-talk. Confidence starts with what you tell yourself every day. How are you visualizing your success, and what are you telling yourself?

Setbacks don't always feel like progress. I learned that through an ACL tear, multiple wrist surgeries, and moments when I wasn't sure I'd play at the highest level again. But every setback taught me something. Trust the process. Keep working. Keep moving forward.
