But you’d like to come to North America and coach, correct?
Yes. That’s my goal. I want to see life. I want to see life. I want to see hockey life. I want to because I’ve been missing this so much since I left without knowing that’s how this was. … Because in the end of the day, my NHL career was I have to find the right word (he checks his phone dictionary) it was a little disappointing. But at the same time, it was interesting. Very colorful and interesting. But at a playing level, I could have developed as a player so I’m still regretting that. I have a sort of regret and I know right now what I was missing. I should have been more mobile, more agile, and I should have worked on my natural playing, natural game. I should have been little bit more persistent.
