Dedicating your life to something, dedicating time to something, ending up achieving it and maybe doing better than that. Me personally, that would be a Stanley Cup. That's something I've dreamed of my whole life. I think that's why every hockey player at this level plays.
I don't think I've ever felt overwhelmed on an ice rink.
Just to be in the locker room with the NHL players, go out to dinner with them, hang out with them. I feel like it was an invaluable experience and kind of like going to Harvard law school, I guess, because that's the best education you could get being around guys like that.
I want to be an impact player and come out of the gates fast.
I had a pretty good sequence of games at the World Under-18 Championship but our main goal was to win gold there, and we didn't. I'd trade all 20 of my points there for a gold medal, but I feel like I had a pretty good tournament.
For me, I read and react. I think when I have time and space, I'm a threat to score or a threat to make a really nice play.
I think it would be unbelievable to play in the NHL as an 18-year-old.
That would be a lot of fun if a Devil-Ranger rivalry was kind of heated up again.
But I mean, I'm a confident kid. I want to be a kid that kind of drives the bus, doesn't just be a passenger.
You get drafted by an NHL team, you're kind of living the good life. So, I mean for me, it's all awesome.
I'm so pumped up to be a Devil.
I thought I knew Patrick Kane the superstar, how good of a player he is, but I think I got to know Patrick Kane as a human. How he treats everyone the same, respects everyone.
Anytime you get to play your brother, it's a lot of fun.
You always dream of being number one. You don't dream of being two, three or four when you're a young kid. I want to be the first overall pick. I feel like that would be a dream come true if that happens.
Whenever we got the chance to watch a game with my dad, it was like watching video with an NHL coach.
It's in my blood to be an athlete, to be a hockey player.
We did Passover when we were younger.
