| Gerry (Rhode Island): Why do you wear # 13? Does it have any special meaning?
|
 |
 |
|
T.J. Fox: When I went into college, I wore number eight, but one of our captains wanted to wear 8 his senior year, so 13 was one of the only few open. I took it and ran with it. It's been good to me so far.

| Jackie D (south hadley, MA): what's your favorite thing to do besides hockey?

| Jonny (Amherst): what advice would you give to young players who want to reach your level?
|
|
|

T.J. Fox: I've had my ups and downs in my career reaching this level. One thing I never did was give up. I just played as hard as I could at every level. I eventually got my opportunity coming out of college early to play at this level. If you work hard and never quit, your opportunity will come one day.
