I get mad at my mom. I really wish she’d put me into hockey. I’m not gifted with height, but look at Martin St-Louis. He’s unbelievable. He’s small, but he’s so fast, so skilful. I think I could have been pretty good. Patrick Chan Read Quote

When I go to competitions, I don’t have so much confidence that I don’t worry or get nervous about the other skaters doing well. Patrick Chan Read Quote
