Edouard Lavoie knows that it is a long shot to win anything. He has been part of very strong teams that arguably had a chance at winning it all and he has yet to do so. Despite these setbacks, Edouard knows that if he puts his head down and keeps working there is always a chance that it will be his team eventually. As long as he keeps working hard and surrounds himself with a culture of people who all want to win and are willing to put in the effort to do so, they will eventually get there. He does his best to motivate his teammates when possible and help them get better. He also relies on his teammates to improve himself. Lavoie is not much of a golfer, and prefers to take a few weeks off to recover and then get right back on the ice and begin working on improvement for the next season. He knows that the more prepared he is, the better results he will get.
