Tell me this Hunter Smith quote is not awesome:

"I think if I'm going to be moving up to the next level that's going to have to be my game. At 6-7, I'm going to have to own the front of the net. That's got to be my office."

Quote:
3. No 18-year-old player is a finished product; what do you see as the areas of your game that will need the most work in the next couple years?
"Speed, quickness, will be the main things I focus on for the next 3-4 years. That's going to make or break me on whether I can jump to the next level. Strength will come. I am 18 years old. By the time I'm 22, I'm going to be pretty strong but it depends on how quick I'll be."
4. What teammate are you most grateful to for helping you find your place with the Generals?
"Last year I thought Boone Jenner [now with the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets] helped me. He was a good captain who led by example, showed how hard work can help you achieve anything. Boone's a very skilled player but he's also the hardest-working player on the ice. Obviously, getting to play with players like Michael Dal Colle and Scott Laughton helps a lot because they make me a better player when I'm on the ice with them."
5. How has been the toughest defenceman you have faced during your three seasons in the OHL?
"Probably [the Barrie Colts' Aaron] Ekblad. He's probably the best defenceman in the league right now. He's just so big and so hard to get around and move out of the corner."

Ho Sang sounds like an idiot in comparison.
