The spotlight is on you and you’re a world junior player two times in a row where the spotlight is on you. You came to training came last year, you went through all those experiences. He’s a player that internalizes all of those things and actually soaks up the experience of it. Where some people just go through the experience and they don’t gain the wisdom, the insight, of having experienced that.”‘
