Colorado Avalanche Cares: What sports did you play growing up?
David: "Everything. I played a lot of baseball, soccer and a little football when I was younger plus rugby in high school and basketball. Baseball, hockey and soccer were my top three."

Colorado Avalanche Cares: Who taught you how to skate?
