"Timo Time started when I was drafted in the QMJHL to the Halifax Mooseheads. I think it's a fun phrase that's cool for the fans to be a part of and the guys joke around with it too. It's nice to see everyone's enjoying it."

"After a game it's always nice to visit with the friends and family that come to support me and watch me play. This is a shot of me and my billet family from Canada that came down for a visit. The support from family and friends is an awesome feeling."
