He doesn't care about personal awards or his Harvard legacy. In the words of a true leader, Mark said, "Winning that national championship is my only goal."
Like Mark, Steve started playing hockey when he was four or five and hasn't stopped since. Early on Mark and Steve played on the same teams because Steve was playing with kids a year older than he was.
Although all three brothers haven't played together since they were young, Steve remembers playing 'shinny' (a Canadian term for pick-up hockey) with Mark and Dominic.
"We did, and still do, a lot, a lot, a lot of things together," Steve said. "We're very close."
While Steve made his own choice to come to Harvard, Mark's experience played a factor in Steve's decision.
"I knew I wanted to come to the States," Steve said. "And Mark being here was definitely a positive thing for Harvard in my deciding which school to go to"
Harvard is certainly glad that Steve followed his older brother to Cambridge. Probably the best player on the team, he was drafted high in the second round of the 1998 NHL draft by the Colorado Avalanche and stands the best chance of fulfilling what Mark has described as the dream of every young boy in Canada.
"He's the rock," Mark said. "You can count on him to score and make hits every game, and to compete at 100 percent--100 percent of the time."
