Jordin Tootoo is known as tough player on the ice, but also known for experiencing tough times off the ice. The good news is that all this noise is behind him and he's living a happy sober life now.

"You look at life from a different perspective when you're comfortable and content in your own skin," Tootoo says. "You understand the meaning of life."

He does not only understand the meaning of life he also know what he can bring on the ice as his role has change since he's playing in the NHL.

"Over the years the game has evolved. I know I can play the game, but my foundation is being a physical presence out there. Before when I played it was out of anger and frustration and I didn't really give a (damn) about my health, but for me now it's more of being a character guy and being a good teammate for the young guys. Mentally, it's a grind. It's not easy being a pro athlete. I always tell the guys, 'Page 172 out of my book is mind over matter.'"

He may not have any point this year he certainly can bring a lot of things of the ice.
