"[Jonas Brodin] called me this morning and he was putting it in perspective," Dumba said about his time in Minnesota. "It's just like, from 17, 18 years old, you do everything together. You spend more times with your teammates and your best friends that you created on the team more than you do your best friends from home or buddies you grew up with, because it's an everyday grind. You battle, you grow together. We grew up as men together, you know? Started out just as little boys. That's what I'll remember, just all the friendships and memories made. It's been one [heck] of a ride here in 'Minny,' and I'm so thankful for it. It's an exciting new chapter, but I'll always think back to these times. Going through the phone, looking at the photos and seeing where the boys are at, I made a lot of good friends, friends that won't just be hockey friends, they'll be lifelong friends, which are probably my best memories."
