Scope & Content |
Joe Sakic interview, 16 October 2013. Digital MP4, viewing time 00:14:49. 00:06Values: be honest, with yourself, with everybody and work as hard as you at whatever you are doing, usually good things will happen 00:28Life lesson: as a player, the biggest lesson would be to never give up in a sport. You never know when you can be in a game or out of the game. You face a lot of adversity. There is always pressure. Always do your best out there and make sure you have no regrets at the end of the day. 01:33Does that translate to your personal life - absolutely 01:49Is there anything you would do differently: I wish I would have learned earlier in my career what it took to be a good professional. As you mature, you get older you figure things out and I wish I had known this earlier in my career. 02:27What fascinated you about the game of hockey so much: Dad took him to his first hockey game at age 4, fell in love with the sport whether it was the game or the atmosphere, once started playing know that was what he wanted to do 02:55What part of Wayne Gretzky's game impressed you the most: so dominant, just his style of play, he was so much better than everybody, you could tell that he had that vision, he had that anticipation, he was always in the right spot, when he had the puck he always made the right play 03:59On the World Juniors in 1984: first experience to play for Team Canada and first experience, not as a fan, to represent the country and how special that was to put on your country's jersey; when we played Russia, that was definitely the highlight of the trip 06:02Why was it so important to you to represent Canada: definitely an honour, something never took for granted to play for your country; first of all you're only playing for your country, you are playing with and against the best players in the world so the level of competition is so much higher than any other level you play in; anytime you get the call to play for Canada and put the maple leaf over your head, those are special times and not something I will ever forget 06:34Any one that stands out for you: no question, the '02 Gold medal; for what it meant for the country and we knew the history going into it - 50 years and not winning in Nagano in '98, just the whole experience, to be able to play in the Olympic Games, to be able to stay in the Village with the other athletes, the entire experience was amazing 07:12On his charity work with the Food Bank of the Rockies: realized how important it was, great to be involved, we are so fortunate to be doing what we are doing, we are playing a game and making a good living, when you see people and children are struggling, you help 08:33On his approach to leadership: have to lead by example, can't lead unless you are doing it yourself, say what and when it's necessary, come out better when you say what you feel 09:11Advice to captains: be yourself, whether vocal or quiet, pick your time, you get the captaincy for a reason, it's not to change who you are 09:52On being inducted to the CSHoF: incredible honour; this is my country where I grew up and playing the game I love, such an honour to play for Canada and to play with all those guys means so much more when playing for your country and now to be inducted is a great honour 10:33On still being involved in hockey: loved the game, loved to play it, to be part of it, what you like is the team camaraderie and working towards a common goal with your team mates 11:11Looking back how do you think of yourself: grateful had the opportunity to play, played with some incredible players, some great players an that's all you can ask for. For me, I accomplished my dream, something I always wanted to do and I'm the luckiest guy in the world to do what I've always wanted to do 12:27Welcome to the Hall message |
