You definitely don't wanna , you know , come off as , uh , not a good person around them .

Even when nobody's watching , there's so much more to the game of hockey than goals and assists .
The best piece of advice that he's ever given me was hustle beats talent when talent doesn't hustle , which basically just means , you know , you might not be the most skilled or the most talented player out there . But as long as you stick to it and keep grinding and working as hard as you possibly can . One day , you're gonna make it , I guess having my older brother , he's four years older than me .
He built the whole ice rink pretty much in our backyard in the basement . He decked it out to be a great shooting room . The best piece of advice that he's ever given me was hustle beats talent when talent doesn't hustle , which basically just means , you know , you might not be the most skilled or the most talented player out there .
He's probably been my biggest mentor throughout it all ever since I was young . Like he always went the extra mile to just go above and beyond to make sure that I had everything I needed . He built the whole ice rink pretty much in our backyard in the basement .
And if you love doing what you're doing , you're gonna work a lot harder at it and you're just gonna do it in your free time .

So just like preh have and , and making sure you do all the little things right every day to keep yourself from getting injured .
