Living The Dream: "You get to play hockey and make money doing it. It's pretty great. And the fans here were super fun, and more than I would have imagined and could have asked for. They're at practices, they're at every game."
Roommate Will Borgen: "Oh, my tongue! No, just kidding. He's been great. He's been super helpful from so many little things - making sure I have all my stuff, making sure I'm on time. I mean, I'm not lost without him. But he's obviously been so helpful.
"And it's just been fun to go to a brand new team. You go to a brand new place. First time living on my own, other than college. And having him there was just super fun and really helpful."
"My parents always say, 'I eat a bowl of ice cream and I gain ten pounds, and you eat it and you lose weight.'"
Summer Goals: "My skating, keep getting my skating better, my edges. Putting on more weight, obviously. I think it'd be great for being in the corners, holding guys off my back. A lot of benefits for it, I think more muscle. My legs too, maybe I'm faster. Just time and putting in the work in the summer.
"My mom, my parents always say, 'I eat a bowl of ice cream and I gain ten pounds, and you eat it and you lose weight.' I'm like, 'I know.'"
