All complaining aside, I think I've had a pretty good career. I'm nearing the end of mine, as father time remains undefeated. I've played my whole career in Edmonton and I will retire there. We've had some absolutely great seasons while I was here and I think that's my legacy in Edmonton, bringing home multiple Challenge Cups.

Personally, I've actually got a lot of hardware. I've won 5 gold medals with Ireland in the IIHF, I've won 2 Challenge Cups, an Anton Razov for Playoff MVP, and I have the SHL record for highest +/- in a season. I came into the league wanting to become the best goal scorer in history, but things happened on the ice and my game changed. I become a good to great top 6 point producer for Edmonton and won a lot.

As my career winds down, I hope I'm remembered as a great teammate and a hard worker. One thing for sure, though, is I will be remembered as a winner.
