First Hockey Memory: "I grew up in the Boston area and it was in the Orr-Esposito era so rinks were springing up left and right and a lot of them were open air. And I just remember the first time when I got my first pair of skates – Christmas. Getting the chance to get out there on the ice and have at her. And surprised myself I think at how easy I was able to use the edges. It just kind of took off from there."
