Where did you grow up, and what first made you fall in love with hockey?

Yeah, I grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario, hometown, country, country guy.

A lot of country.

I love it there.

Couldn't have done it without all the, all the support system in Thunder Bay, and grew up in hockey since I was a little kid on the outdoor rink, every day after school till I got called in for dinner and then went right back out.

So fell in love with the game on the outdoor rink, and it's really, really where I feel I've developed my game into who I am today, and the person I am today is, in Thunder Bay and what they've done for me.

How, how many family you got here? 'Cause that was a big cheer I heard when your name was called.

Yeah.
