After being traded to the Lightning in 2015, my family and I fell in love with living in Tampa and being a part of such a great community and team. It felt very natural for us to continue to live in Tampa after my playing career. When people ask me what I enjoy so much about Tampa, the obvious answer is the weather, but it really goes much deeper than that. It's the people that live here, from neighbors, friends, and adopted family that have shown my family such kindness and love. My children Rory and Blair have basically grown up here, and I'm thankful I get to raise them in such a great place. My wife Nadine and I are also proud to continue to support amazing local organizations like The Spring of Tampa Bay, which has been at the forefront of creating change and educating the community about domestic violence while protecting survivors of domestic violence. We have also involved ourselves with the Humane Society of Tampa and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
