When you’re in the hockey team, you’re treated like a VIP. There are people around you looking after you, making sure you get 7-8 hours of undisturbed sleep every day.
Hockey was my favorite sport my whole life until I played football.

I am addicted to hockey now. I’ve seen it on TV, but to be there? I had no idea that white people were having so much fun without me.

I’ve announced every kind of sporting event except hockey and demolition derby, and to be frank about it, I don’t really care to ever do those.

I’d love to be a role model for black kids, whether they play hockey or not.
