    I've never met anyone who's a bigger fan of other people's success than him. I think that's a unique thing to his personality and that's an empowering thing, particularly to the young guys in the organization. He is interested in how people are doing and not just as a team, but personally and what contributions they are making and what he can do to make them better. It sounds unimportant, but it's a really subtle and special thing that comes from him.

    He approached every game the way you should approach every game and he really tried to help others out. Not just by example, he would tell you. I remember being young and asking him about going through rough streaks and say this is what I'm doing. Mark didn't have to be a goalie to be able to relate to what I was going through. He was an athlete and a competitor and he could give you advice.
