Scott from Calgary, AB - How picky are you with your sticks/curve and do you ever tinker with a different curve in the off season to improve shooting and passing? I’m actually really picky with my sticks. I tried a new stick this summer and I didn’t like it. I think I’ve used the same stick for probably three years now. With my curve, I don’t think I’ve changed that since I was six years old. I don’t know if I’m ever going to change it, maybe someday day but as of now I’m going to stick to the same curve.
Lauren from Hazelton, BC - How old do you think you will you be when commentators finally start calling you just "Sam Bennett" instead of "# year old Sam Bennett?"
Hahaha. It might be a while. It would be pretty funny of they were still calling me 30-year-old Sam Bennett. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Kurtis from Calgary, AB - Which teammate on the Calgary Flames have you learned from the most?
I’d probably have to say either Mason Raymond or Matt Stajan. They are older guys that have sort of taken me under their wing. They’ve shown me a lot of little pointers here and there and it’s nice as a young guy to have those older veteran guys support you.

Trevor from Georgetown, DC - How do you spend your time away from the rink in Calgary?
Normally I’ll just hang out with some of the other young guys – Johnny [Gaudreau], [Sean] Monahan or [Markus] Granlund. We’ll play some Xbox or go out to eat – that kind of stuff.

What has Sam learned from Raymond? How not to do a wrap around?
Last year, Bennett talked about how he learned a lot from guys who were injured or sitting at the same time that he was. Staj, Raymond, and Jones I believe were those vets.
