First Hockey Memory: "Do you know how old I am? Do you know
how long ago that was (laughs)?! Off the cuff, I was
born and raised in Montreal. We had cold winters and there was a
hockey rink the city put up a block and a half from my house. Then

watch the Canadiens and the junior teams that played
there."
