“I got a Game Boy Advance when I was 4 or 5 years old,” rookie defenseman Dennis Cholowski said. “Those were big back then and I wanted one for the longest time, ever since I could remember. I got it for Christmas and I was the happiest person in the world for the next couple weeks. I played nonstop.

Man, Christmas rules when you’re a kid. Best gifts from back in the day had to be all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures or the original Power Rangers Megazord toy. Now, I genuinely appreciate getting socks. Shout out to my parents for the Tyler Bertuzzi jersey this year.
