"We feel fortunate [with Canada hockey team]...." - Quote by Wayne Gretzky

“Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.”

“Thankfully, in my youth I had the best financial advisor a son could ask for: my dad Walter. When I got that first signing bonus in 1978, Dad took my cheque, announced, 'This is what we're going to do,' and bought an annuity with it.”

“It's really hard. And it's harder today because of the salary cap. It starts in September at training camp - getting every guy on the same page, being as mentally and physically as focused as you can be. Then in April and May, you basically spend eight weeks practising, watching video and playing games. That's your life.”

“The success of a vision is determined by its ownership by both the leader and the people.”

“Values hold the team together, provide stability for the team to grow upon, measure the team's performance, give direction and guidance and attract like-minded people.”

“When you travel with the team and you eat with the team - you eat what the team eats.”

“Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.”

“If you can shrug off a loss, you can't be a winner.”

“The cheerful loser is the winner.”
