“I think I always just want to get better at whatever I'm doing... Always strive …” — Carl Hagelin

As a hockey player, playing for an Original Six team at Madison Square Garden, where it's packed every night, there's nothing like it.

I went to hockey camp at Michigan because my dad has some relatives in the Ann Arbor area. We went to visit them as kids, and you start to learn the language from being around people. At the same time, when I got to college, I thought my English was better than it really was. I learned a lot over my four years.

In Sweden, they broadcast the American shows in English with Swedish subtitles, whereas in many European countries they dub them. Watching those shows in English was big for me.

Hair wax is my go-to. When it comes to shampoo, I use whatever is at the rink.
