What's your favorite drill?
I like flow drills, especially ones that incorporate a lot of
different skills and a lot of different players so it has game-like
situations.
How do you mentally prepare for a game?
Just being in the locker room, being around my teammates is a huge
part of it. I love the atmosphere; it helps me get settled and
calm. I also use visualization techniques right before I go on the
ice.
What's your warm up routine?
When I get to the rink I get into my workout gear right away. I
like to tape my stick and listen to some music and hang out with my
teammates. Then I chew a piece of gum and go out for warm-ups. Then
it's game time.
