"I [want to be remembered] as a competitor, as someone that gave everything for his teammates, gave everything for those around him, as someone that could be counted on,"
"I was certainly not short of any mistakes and whatnot, but somebody that was able to be resilient and bounce back and continue to fight."
"If guys were going into battle, they look back and they said, 'Hey, I got Brad, and we're gonna be okay today.'"
"We will do everything to honour a fantastic career, because he is a fantastic guy. He's an unbelievable leader. He's done so many unbelievable things in his career, so that's something we have to honour."
