Kevin: How old where you when you started playing hockey?

Marty: Yeah.
Kevin: How old were you when you moved there?

Kevin: Best advice you've ever received (doesn't have to be hockey-related):
Marty: My Dad always tells me that "what you put in, that's what you are going to get back." So whatever you put into, that's what you will get out of it.
Kevin: Tell me about some of your goals for the future.
Marty: I like to play college hockey somewhere. I like to get a scholarship. I am not sure where yet. But whatever happens. If pro hockey were to come along, I definitely take that opportunity. But, I'm not really betting on it.

Kevin: How do they choose a captain?
Marty: Coach picked 'em.
