Sean Avery Quotations

Without the support of my mom, Marlene, I would not be the person I am Saturday. She has been my main supporter throughout my career and I owe everything to her. This is a small way that we, as players, can pay tribute to her and other hockey moms, and it is all for a good cause.

No question that this is a way (for the league) to do something to me,

You're the reason the league doesn't have a national television deal. You're a (terrible) announcer and you were a (terrible) player.

It's in the collective bargaining agreement, ... That's something our great competition committee did.

It was nice. Hopefully it raises some money - and what better cause? Our moms have been a big part of all of our careers, and I don't think any of us would be playing without their help.

I treat everyone that way I expect to be treated and that applies to marriage. Committed couples should be able to marry the person they love

I just want to comment on how It's become a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in Love with my sloppy seconds

The only thing I've been concerned about is whether I could grow my heart thing enough to protect me from the harsh western Canadian winter.

Typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up.
