If you’re thinking about starting a young family — do it.
Don’t be afraid of it.
Just do it with some knowledge and some understanding that it’s going to take work. That you’ve got to put your focus toward that when you’re home. That family is number one priority.
And when you’ve really done that — really been present — then you can go to the rink and kick some ass.
Because your family isn’t a distraction from your career. If you let it, it’s the greatest source of strength you have.

I was there. I loved my kids. I provided for them. We did things together.
But I was moving so fast. Always driven, always onto the next thing. And my family was along for the ride more than I want to admit.
This s**t goes so fast.
Your kids are only four once. And when I look at pictures now, man — it makes it really hard.
You know that song, Cats in the Cradle? It’s a cliché for a reason.
Your career will keep going. You’ll have another year, more wins, more time. But there’s only one short window where they’re four. Where they’re babies.

That window doesn’t come back.

There’s a thing happening right now where people are waiting longer and longer to have kids.

Everything has to be perfect first. The house, the car, the bank account, the travel. Just a little more money so you can be really ready.

But sometimes planning everything to be just right means you end up waiting forever.

I got married my first year pro. I was 21. By 23, I had three kids.
And I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I got married my first year pro. I was 21.
By 23, I had three kids. By 28, four.
And I wouldn’t change it for the world.

But I made mistakes. And I want to talk about them — not to scare you, but so you can do it better than I did.

The party lifestyle I kept going way too long. And not being as present as I could have been — because this stuff goes fast. Your kids are only four once. And when I look at pictures now, man... it makes it really hard.

This video is for every young athlete navigating a family and a career at the same time. And for everyone who waited for “perfect” before starting one.

Perfect doesn’t come. Life comes.

Here’s what separates the players who handle a send-down right from the ones who don’t:
They separate the decision from their response.
The decision is an uncontrollable. You don’t own it. You can’t change it.

Your response? That’s completely within your control.

Close that chapter fast. Show up to wherever you’re going ready from day one. And actually enjoy where you’re at — not because you have to, but because fighting it angrily every day is heavy and it will wear you out.

The call-up comes when they’re ready. Be ready when it does.

I was 17. Second year in the WHL.
Team’s on the bus. Engine’s running. Someone pops their head in.
“Hey Dusty — John wants to see you.”
That’s the GM. Everybody’s already joking: “Traded!”

Into the office. He goes: “Yeah, we did a deal. You’re off to Lethbridge.”

That was it. My stuff’s on the bus.

I got in my car, and drove 15 hours to Lethbridge. Ready the next day.

That’s how it goes sometimes. And how you handle that moment is everything.

You get sent down.
You’re pi**ed off. You feel like you’ve been made smaller. You don’t feel good about yourself.

So you show up to the new team with all that still in your head. Practices don’t go well. First game doesn’t go well.
And then the organization sits down and says — “See? Good call. He wasn’t ready.”

Here’s what kills me about that: when you were in camp, you were ready.

But you just proved them right anyway.

That is the trap. And it is completely avoidable.

October. NHL rosters are set. Camps are done.
And the most common conversation I’m having right now is with players and families trying to process getting sent down.

Here’s what nobody’s really saying:

A lot of the time, the decision was already made before camp started. You could have been the best player there. Doesn’t matter — the math was done.

That’s not the hard part.

The hard part is what comes next. Because I’ve been in coaches’ offices. And I’ve watched players carry all that frustration into the new locker room, have a rough first two weeks — and then hear the organization say: “See? Good call. He wasn’t ready.”

Now they’re right. Even if they weren’t.

New city. New coach. You got the ball.
That’s a great feeling.

But if the mental weight isn’t handled right, all those expectations — the team, the city, yourself — start to compound.

“I got the ball. I got to make it happen.”

All the right intentions. Wrong frame of mind.

And from what I saw, he never really got a hold of it again in that game.

It just kind of got away from him.
