I Grew Up Trying To Play For

Assistant Coaches Become A Little Bit More Buddies To The Players Than A Head Coach.

Growing Up As A Kid My Father Was British And A Soccer Player. His Idol Was A Guy That Passed The Ball A Lot, Stanley Matthews. Our Family Thought If You Could Be Unselfish Your Teammates Would Always Like You.

I Grew Up Trying To Play For The Toronto Maple Leafs, Not Team Canada. Didn't Even Know It Existed.

I Can't Be A Hypocrite As A Coach Because As A Player That's What I Wanted. I Wanted Feedback, I Wanted Communication From The Boss. I Showed Up For Work, You Can Yell At Me If You Want, But I Want Input. So That's The Kind Of Coach I Want To Be.

I Was A Punk. I Think That's Why I'm Such A Good Person Now, Because I Was Such A Bad Guy Then.
