He retired from international hockey in 2007 after playing 165 games and scoring 72 goals.[3]

His nickname in the younger days was "10 cents". This came about because every time he scored a goal his aunty would give him 10 cents as a reward. After at least 3 games of hockey on a weekend, the rewards were massive.
