I worried about what I was going to do, coming back here, not playing hockey but I am finding tons to do surprisingly. And with the kids and getting them to all their activities and everything, it's quite the days. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Seeing E's face when I got back and having him here with me, with all of us, it's the best ( Read more... )

It was a long flight but seeing the surprise on Eric's face when he opened the door was worth all the hassle. Josh is happy to be home as much as he's going to miss Ireland. But he understands, my boy is smart like that. This is something I had to do for me. Well for me and Eric ( Read more... )

It's been great having Josh with me. He is so loving being in and around Ireland and I feel okay letting him go off and explore things. I see him acting a lot like I did when I was that age and no father wants to see their child making the same mistakes as they did ( Read more... )

Sometimes I am straight up reminded why I loathe media. All this bullshit about me having huge salary while playing on the reservation. What the fuck ever. I don't need a salary but they keep this up, and the team won't have to deal with this at all ( Read more... )

It really was great to play again. Will I do it again? We shall see. I have three kids to take care of, they are my priority ( Read more... )

Eric's birthday was good and things have continued to just be good. It's nice.

Playing again was something I was missing, I just didn't realise that. I really was happy not playing, getting better. But now that I've played, the rush to be on the ice is back.

It's kind of fun.
