''I'm 2 years over today, I'm going to say it again because I can't believe it... I am 2 years over today! I wouldn't have had made it a day without the incredible support of my amazing wife. Nicholle. You are so much more than my best friend and the love of my life. The strength and encouragement you and our little monsters have given me is why I can celebrate today. You guys are my life. My goal everyday is to be the best husband. Father. Son and friend for everyone that has seen me through hell deserves. I love you all very much!''
''The support from everyone at the Minnesota Wild, New York Islanders, and NHL Network, Bally's, and KFAN has been overwhelming. I have leaned you all whether you realize it or not! A special show out to the Power Trip.
You guys know why. No reason to get all sappy. Finally to all my brothers and sisters in recovery. Thank you! Thank you for everything! The fellowship and camaraderie we get from each other is what has got me to this point. One day at a time! It's a simple road map that has got me this far.
Now, I'm going to focus on the rest of today and see where it takes me peace and love.''
