“There’s a selected few people who have god given talent that no matter what they do they will always be at the top of their career path. There’s a reason why certain people ‘make it’ and why people don’t. Because people who want to make it don’t ever stop working, don’t let anybody tell them they can’t do something. I’m a firm believer that if you really want something, go out and get it.” My dad, right from when I was a young age, he instilled in me that if you don’t work hard then you’re not going to get anywhere. It’s funny, he always used to take me down for a drive to East Vancouver around Main/Hastings and say ‘if you don’t work hard in life this is where you’re going to end up.’ I guess it sunk in, to this day I feel like I have a strong work ethic and will always continue to have that. I think if you ask anybody who Mike Santorelli is, they will tell you he is a hard working person.” – Mike Santorelli, Retired NHL Player. (6/11)
