For me, the greatest obstacles are never on the ice itself. That’s the area I excel in. That’s where my passion is. I think we all strive to push ourselves, to overcome our struggles. And when we do, we get to know ourselves better.
To me, a hockey player has to be every sport rolled into one: ice skater, baseball player, football player, etc. It’s just incredible to watch!
I was an extra in a movie called ‘Demoted’ starring Sean Astin and Michael Vartan. The movie was a real atrocity, but it was fun to be paid to be on a film set, and I remember Michael Vartan bought everybody ice cream.
There’s nothing pretty about ice. Ice grows nothing. But we’ve got this in our minds that we’ve got to make everything cold.
ICE has only become increasingly militarized, brutal, and unaccountable.
I give a speech to the black freshmen at Harvard each year, and I say, ‘You can like Mozart and ice hockey…’ – and then I used to say ‘golf,’ but Tiger took over golf! – ‘and Picasso and still be as black as the ace of spades.’
I seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns.
Scoops of mint ice cream with chips of chocolate cows.
It’s very difficult for the family members of ICE agents, and it’s very difficult for ICE agents to know what’s right and what’s wrong and why should I get engaged and go out there and enforce the law when I don’t know what it means any more to have consequences.
My favorite thing to do in this world is to be on the ice playing hockey and try to entertain fans and bring wins to the Chicago Blackhawks.
I never said I was an angel. Nor am I innocent or holy like the Virgin Mary. What I am is natural and serious and as sensitive as an open nerve on an ice cube.
My sports were team sports: ice hockey and baseball. The whole team dynamic is similar in business. Leadership is earned – the captain earns that role; it’s not because he’s the coach’s son. These are all things we know, but in today’s world, it’s not a bad idea to remind ourselves.
I’ll get to the oval three hours beforehand and warm up for about 45 minutes off the ice. Then I’ll stretch and get on the ice for 20 minutes. I’ll cool down, then relax, close my eyes and think about what I need to do.
Skinny Cow ice cream and candy – like dancing – brings a little bit of fun to your day.
Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn’t so good.

Climate change is not just about carbon dioxide levels and melting polar ice caps. It is about our public health and protecting our Earth for future generations.
I just want to play well, have the people in Chicago enjoy watching soccer. You have a very good baseball team, a very good ice hockey team, and a very good football team. Hopefully you’ll have a very good soccer team.
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
I once bought a 45 ice cream. I had to do it. They had a 100-year-old vinegar drizzled across the top. And that was worth it.
You get mentally fatigued and you get physically fatigued, too. Usually that’s when bad things happen on the ice and then you’re more at risk for injury.
I was told to have an ice bath once, which I did once, and it was the most horrific experience. In my head it sounded like a great idea, so I filled my bath with ice and water, and it was absolutely horrendous.
I used to have this fantasy when I was growing up where Princess Leia would be in the slave Leia costume and she would be in a vat of Breyer’s ice cream. A recurring dream where I would eat my way to her.
U.S. Speedskating has been riddled with problems since when I started my career, and we were always able to look past that. When it came down to performing on the ice, regardless of funding issues, we were always able to make it happen. And that’s what it’s all about.
If you’re going to be a championship-caliber team or a threat to be a championship-caliber team you have to play a 200-foot game and you have to produce on both ends of the ice.
Ice cream brings people together.
For ice skating, you really have to block out your fears and throw yourself into it – there must be trust in your partner and a trust that you will be safe.
I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words ‘ice queen’ attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There’s this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
I’m a health nut who likes to work out every day, but I am powerless when it comes to Yorkshire pudding, pizza and ice cream.

I like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.
I’m doing ‘Dancing on Ice’ and I’m just exhausted.
I spent loads of time in Scotland as a kid. My dad would take us back up to Aberdeen loads, and I have very fond memories of getting chips from his favourite chippy and heading down to the beach to eat Baskin Robbins ice cream.
Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.
Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun.
Oh yeah, I don’t eat a lot of candy on tour. When I get home, man, I love candy. Oh, man, and ice cream. I can’t eat it on tour because of the sugar and my throat.
I think unadulterated products and smaller portion sizes mean consumption of less food overall. Portion is everything. The first time I bought a scoop of ice cream in Paris, they weighed the ice cream on a scale before putting it on the cone. It was so small, it fell into the cone as she handed it to me.
In ice dancing, you cannot decide your result. You just have to do your best, and you can’t decide if you win or not.
I’m an ice skater. I’m all about the glitter.
It definitely helps that I can bet big with ice water in my veins.
First I wanted to be an ice skater, and then I saw ‘Bye, Bye Birdie,’ and everything changed. I’m glad I learned through the process of theater.
Everything’s borne out of human experience, of course – rejection, humiliation, poverty, whatever. People aren’t born bad, no matter how harsh the circumstances. There is a person in there, and that person is not made of ice.
Winter horseshoes are equipped with little spikes that give a horse traction on snow and ice and prevent it from slipping.
I wouldn’t participate in ‘Stars on Ice’ if I were asked. I find it an amateurish tour in a way, the production quality.
So it wasn’t actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.
Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman.
It’s a beautiful feeling to be out on the ice, breathing in the cold air and hearing the blades hit the ice. It’s kind of romantic.
My family lived off the land and summer evening meals featured baked stuffed tomatoes, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh shelled peas and homemade ice cream with strawberries from our garden. With no air conditioning in those days, the cool porch was the center of our universe after the scorching days.
My dad had this thing – everyone in Canada wants to play hockey; that’s all they want to do. So when I was a kid, whenever we skated my dad would not let us on the ice without hockey sticks, because of this insane fear we would become figure skaters!
We talked to the referees before the game; there’s always new situations to adjust, for the refs and for us as well. Even on the ice, it’s good for players to talk and interact with the referee.
Sometimes I do give in to a scoop of sitaphal ice cream from Naturals or a chocolate chip cookie.
I was just ice skating. I had no concept of that. In those days you couldn’t see the judges. I was this little person on the ice and they were just people that would stand around the boards.
As a species, we’ve somehow survived large and small ice ages, genetic bottlenecks, plagues, world wars and all manner of natural disasters, but I sometimes wonder if we’ll survive our own ingenuity.
During my early skating years, there were not many ice rinks in Korea, and even the few rinks that existed, most of them were public.

A damn independent boy; independent as a hog on ice.

I do some dairy. I’m careful on that; it needs to be hormone free. But everybody has to have ice cream!
Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.
