He also discusses Alexander Semin's competitiveness, his many nicknames, the time his name was misspelled at HockeyFest, and why he took a picture of himself with the Stanley Cup in a swimming pool.

Great read. Thank you.

Late to post but I've gotta say I enjoyed this interview. Schultz showed personality that I hadn't seen before. I like his honesty about himself

And then I saw coming to LA as a sign of new light, a fresh beginning. And things didn't work out there, found myself in Manchester. But it's been a lot of fun, helping these young guys start their careers off. Seeing guys move up year after year. I've enjoyed my time here, but there's still that little spark inside me that would still like to be in the NHL.

and his teammate Ebert.

JS: I think the biggest thing is confidence and no self-doubt. I've played with Ebert a lot more than with Leslie, so I can watch what he does out there. There's time where he gets it and just takes it and goes, and that's very similar to what Colin Miller does. And at other times, he's a little hesitant, waits to make up the [perfect] play instead of the first play...

Sounds like a supportive teammate who tries to help.

Good long interview. Have to take a coffee break for this one.
