In 2015, the Canucks drafted me 23rd overall; the draft was held in Sunrise.

In 2016, we won the National Championship in Tampa when I was with North Dakota; we won at Amalie Arena and I was sitting in the same stall this past weekend that I did two years ago.

Then this last weekend. I don't even know what to say about it. I never dreamed of anything like this. Being named MVP was surreal because the best players in hockey were on that ice with me. Team Pacific played well and we won both our games. I have trouble with the MVP spotlight because they were team wins. I shouldn't have to tell you where the All-Star Game took place this year: Tampa.

The look on my face when they called announced me as MVP is genuine. I couldn't really believe it. Then it was just a blur of being congratulated by the guys and shaking hands and interviews and photos and a car! I actually missed the Team Pacific team photo after the win because I was doing an interview on the bench I think. Then the dressing room was packed with media and the interview room was busy when I spoke there. Let's just say I was very relieved when I took the microphone off and got away from the cameras. It's not that I don't love the spotlight, but I don't love the spotlight! It was nice to chill with my family afterwards. Their love and support means everything to me and spending time with them Sunday night definitely calmed me down after a whirlwind weekend.

Now I'm back in Vancouver after traveling Monday. It's time to shift gears and refocus on the task at hand: the Colorado Avalanche. It's game day, so no time to rest. I love it.

I'd like to thank the NHL and NHLPA for putting on such a great event, the city of Tampa and the Lightning, and of course Florida in general for always being so good to me. My phone has been blowing up and will continue to for a while I think, so thanks to all my buddies, friends and family for reaching out. Canucks fans, you get a special thank you. When I checked Twitter after the game, I saw how many of you voted for me as MVP. Your support is amazing and I sincerely appreciate it.
