It's something I'll need to manage then. "Yet the day-to-day live of a hockey gamer, I'll absolutely miss it. I have actually said in the past, there were some mixed emotions for me in retiring. I'm significantly peaceful with it within, yet I likewise understand that there's a great deal of things I'm going to miss out on because that was a youth desire that I reached live for two decades.
