Please describe how it feels to play in front of great fans or what loud fans can mean to a game: As a player you don't want to disappoint your fans. Especially on a Friday night. Thousands of people are watching, and you want them to like the game and the team and come back game after game.

Favorite way to relax on a non-game day: Beating Wes O'Neill at NHL 2010 on XBOX 360. We play everyday, that's our geek side.

Can you describe a "fan-friendly" pre-game ritual you like to go through to prepare for a game? We play a soccer game called two-touch before every game. Almost every player plays the game. It's a good warmup and we get our minds off the game for  a little while.

Personal hockey highlight so far (on or off the ice): Winning three Quebec League championships in five years.

Favorite hockey team and player while growing up: Montreal Canadiens, Joe Sakic and Mario Lemieux
