“From a young age, looking back on everything, the reason why I was able to get to where I go to is because I faced adversity at a young age. When I was 9,10,11,12,13 years old constantly getting told, ‘you’re too fat, you’re too slow, you’re never going to make it, this guy’s getting drafted in the first round of the WHL draft and you’re playing Bantam B2’, that just kind of fueled my fire and that was kind of the crossroad of my career whether I was going to continue to play for fun or make this a career for myself. I’m glad I chose to really commit myself and work towards my goal.” – Mike Santorelli, Retired NHL Player. (4/11)
