Quotes by Sean Avery  (?)

“The knock on me was that I was a “bad teammate.” Did this mean that I stole other players’ girlfriends? That I was an arrogant puck hog? That I put Tiger Balm in guys’ jockstraps and thought it was the funniest thing ever when they tried to extinguish the three-alarm burning up the family jewels?”
Sean Avery, Ice Capades: A Memoir of Fast Living and Tough Hockey

“Why do hockey players fight? Well, partly because you see the pros do it when you’re a kid and partly because sometimes you get hit so hard or a guy says something so foul that you just want to smack him. Your adrenaline is on overdrive and it unleashes its power through your fists.”
Sean Avery, Ice Capades: A Memoir of Fast Living and Tough Hockey

“I’m no different. If another player gets under my skin, I want to punch his face in. But if I’m chasing him around, trying to hurt him, I’m not doing my job. Better to get him chasing me and then he’s not doing his job. That makes me an agitator.”
