He was someone that I came into, kind of heard a lot of different things from some of the players there that were former teammates, and he was someone I respected. He was a coach I liked playing for, he was kind of my style of coach. We got along great so obviously it’s tough to see him go but it’s part of the business.

I don’t think it’s a surprise that I’m not an offensive defenseman, natural stay at home defenceman, not gonna be a superstar. I feel like I’m a good supporting piece and a depth player. I’m a player that works hard and keeps my mouth shut and he’s a coach that really respects that and expects the best out of you. If you’re gonna pout and you’re gonna complain, which I don’t think I do as an individual, then you’re obviously going to hear from him. So he’s someone that I respect with the fact that if you work hard, he’s going to give you an opportunity and that’s exactly what he gave me in Calgary. He gave me a great opportunity to play an important role for our team on the third pair and play a lot of meaningful minutes so I really enjoyed my time with him.
