“Derice Bannock: Hey, Coach.

Irv: Yeah?

Derice Bannock: I have to ask you a question.

Irv: Sure.

Derice Bannock: But you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I mean, I want you to, but if you can't, I understand.

Irv: You wanna know why I cheated, right?

Derice Bannock: Yes, I do.

Irv: That's a fair question. It's quite simple, really. I had to win. You see, Derice, I'd made winning my whole life. And when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning, no matter what. You understand that?

Derice Bannock: No, I don't understand. You won two gold medals. You had it all.

Irv: Derice, a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.

Derice Bannock: Hey, coach... how will I know if I'm enough?

Irv: When you cross that finish line tomorrow, you'll know.”

“In 2002 Canada and the U.S. played the gold medal game in Salt Lake City and I was told that somewhere between 26 and 27 million out of the 35 million Canadians watched that game.

And they said, 'What do you think of that?'

And I said, 'What do I think of that? What were the other nine million doing?'

That's how much we love hockey in Canada.”
