Mario Lemieux Quotes

When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down.

When I’m able to see the ice ahead of time when I get the puck, I’m able to make some pretty good plays.

We feel that, with Sidney, we have a great opportunity over the next few years to put a great team on the ice. We’re prepared to lose some money along the way. Eventually we’re going to need some help.

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Once I’m at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I’m a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money.
