"Every time I get a chance to play for Team Canada, it's hard to say no. It's a dream come true. [Crosby] was an idol of mine growing up, and to get the opportunity to play with him is surreal."
"He's just such a role model. The way he carries himself, the way he plays the game... he plays it complete, and you can use him in every situation. He's the best player for the job in every situation."
