I know hockey is growing in the U.S., and it's becoming more popular, but anything to get the game out there and see how we view it. We view it as the best game in the world.

I think for me, personally, I'm a guy who has watched ESPN ever since I've been growing up. You turn it on, and it's one of the first stories - the Blackhawks and hockey, which you don't really see on that station. That's cool to see.

Something even minor I do is going to be reported because of things that have happened in the past. You have to be aware of that.

It's great to be able to continue my career in Chicago. Playing with the best organization in sports and the best fans in the game is a blessing.

I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings.

Parents should talk to their children, even when they are babies and can't talk back.

A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.

My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it - they know I love to perform.
