Ever since I was oId enough to skate,
I Ioved hockey.
:01:06
I wasn´t reaIIy
the greatest skater.
:01:10
But that didn´t keep my dad
from teaching me...
:01:13
...the secret of making
a great sIap shot.
:01:17
My dad worshipped hockey.
My mom didn´t.
:01:21
So she moved to Egypt, where there´s
not a hockey rink within 1500 miIes.
:01:26
Dad took me to games
to see our favorite pIayer...
:01:29
...Terry O´ReiIIy,
""The Tasmanian DeviI"".
:01:32
He wasn´t a big guy,
but he feared nobody, just Iike me.
:01:36
Handsome feIIow, huh? He said
when I grew up, I couId be anything.
:01:41
But aII I ever wanted to be
was a hockey pIayer.
:01:45
My chiIdhood was going great,
but Iife is fuII of surprises.
:01:57
After the funeraI, I was sent to Iive
with my grandma in Waterbury.
:02:07
I was nervous,
since I didn´t know her that weII.
:02:11
She dressed Iike Gene Simmons
from KISS to cheer me up.
:02:15
She´s the sweetest person
in the worId.
:02:21
After my dad died,
I deveIoped a short fuse.
:02:24
That kid stoIe my party bIower.
:02:26
Instead of asking for it back,
I hit him in the head repeatedIy...
:02:30
with a hammer.
:02:32
Most of the time, I was quick to say
I was sorry.
:02:37
Years Iater, I pIayed junior hockey
and stiII hoId two Ieague records...
:02:41
...most time spent
in a penaIty box...
:02:43
...and I was the onIy guy to ever try
to stab someone with his skates.
:02:48
After I graduated, I had
a Iot of different jobs.
:02:52
I was a road worker...
:02:55
...a janitor...
