0:00.0	cycling legitimately got me into the NHL, and it actually kept me in the NHL.
0:04.3	And the reason for that is I came in in 1999, and after all this mountain biking with these guys ripping up the mountains in Alberta, I would come into camp and just destroy testing.
0:15.3	We did all of our testing on bikes.
0:16.5	So we do V-O-2 sprint testing, you know, all the major tests.
0:22.3	And so the scores were like off the charts for hockey.
0:25.1	Sure.

1:09.1	Either way, I probably wouldn't have crossed paths with him if he didn't ride a bike because we've met up at a handful of cycling events. We met up this past weekend at the Jeremy Powers Jam Grand Fundo. Stoked, we were able to sit down and chat. He's got a fascinating story. You can tell in our conversation that he doesn't, he thinks about things differently.
1:28.9	He is a very cerebral hockey player and clearly talented to have made it for 17 years.
