‘“You don’t start off playing minor hockey to be the best defender there is, you start off because you want to score goals and I think that goal scoring is a real important aspect of our game and to the extent that we don’t allow the best players to be productive offensively, I think there’s a lot of things at risk. I personally don’t think it’s as much fun to watch, I don’t think it’s as much fun to play and I worry that the youngest players in the game will pick a different sport and that would be unfortunate.”’
