“I've been playing (hockey) since I was 2 and I dreamed of playing in the NHL since I was 7. I committed my whole life to it until 2000. It's the way that I'm wired. I feel like I belong in a rink.”

“I'm a competitor. I want to be a kicker who can handle the pressure. A lot of people may think I should be nervous right now. I'm really not. I'm more excited for the opportunity to play for the Redskins. It's always been a dream of mine.”

“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up - like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore - And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over - like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags - like a heavy lead”

“Personally, it hurt when you tell a player his dream has been stopped for a while, but we had to do what was best for our football team and we felt like this was what was best at this time and hopefully it will work out for Marc, too.”

“There's a little bond among us club pros, or longtime amateurs. To get a chance to play against big-name guys we've watched our whole life, it's great. ... Honestly, it's a dream come true for someone like me.”
