This is easy.
As soon as I did that,
that changed everything
I just had a coach there.
He's like, you know,
Have a shot at bein'
a pro hockey player.
It became real.
It became that guys were playing
hard and playing for jobs
and playing for positions.
You had your defensive guys,
your offensive guys
Everybody specialized in something.
They said y'know,
you're gonna play in the NHL.
It might take ya ten years.
every step of the way.
And I said, you know what?
I'll do it.
Even just to be mentioned
in the breath of you might
be getting drafted.
It's like...
You're like "Wow, this
might be a reality!"
That's the time
agents start knocking on your door
and people telling you what might happen
getting letters in the mail.
I remember I waited
by the phone all day.
I didn't actually go to the draft
because I was a later draft pick.
And I got the call from the
Philadelphia Flyers.
And I remember the first thing
my dad said.
Well you're their type of
player, that's for sure.
I signed a pro contract when I was 19
and I thought it was all...
It was all "up" from there.
And then I realized that was
only the start of the battle.
You have a very short... amount of time
to show what you have.
And if you're not
kind of... pegged, it's...
it's gone in an instant.
Every NHL team has an AHL team
that they're affiliated with.
The difference between
the AHL and the NHL,
the AHL being the feeder system
for the NHL.
Guys get called up
and down all the time.
It's a free-market economy.
I was always competin' for jobs.
Never had a "for-sure" thing.
Just, fightin' anybody I could.
Just to, just tryin' to get a shot.
It was four years in the minors,
250-something games.
No call-ups.
The minors were actually
a lot rougher than the NHL, I believe.
I call it "The Jungle."
And the jungle is full of
all sorts of specimens
and like, you never know
what's gonna getcha!
These guys were tough and
I mean they were tough.
I was fighting these guys twice a night.
For an entire season.
Guys that get sent down from the NHL,
people hone in on that.
It's almost like, there's
blood in the water.
It's like omigod, he's down.
If I take him out then they'll see me
and then I'll get my chance,
I'll get my opportunity
If you don't do your job,
and they don't see you progressing,
then when they need someone to call up,
they're not gonna pull your name.
Once that call comes
that you're makin' it,
it's definitely one of the
best days of your life
because you know that
you're gonna get a shot
