Hoffman on his personal growth from a variety of different hockey experiences during his career:
Any experience that you have, you want to take the positive from it. It brought me here today. That's the man I am today. I played on a couple of teams in Junior and in the NHL, and I've taken those experiences and learned from them. You get to play with some tremendous players, some of the best in the world, and you try and make yourself better every day. You see what they do, try to take after them, and follow in their footsteps.
Hoffman on one aspect of his game that has improved significantly in recent years:
Being more consistent. That's one of the biggest struggles and hardest things to do in the NHL, being a consistent producer. We play 82 games. You're playing a lot of hockey. Over the course of my career, I've been able to learn my body a lot better and know what I need to do preparation-wise to give myself the best opportunities out there and feel my best. It's still a growing game, so that's something that I take pride in. I try to give myself the best opportunity out there, and if I'm doing that, I'm helping my team as well.
