• did he grow up playing roller hockey at RollerDome? (Played there a bit with my cousins in the 90s).

• I’m sure there will be a very diplomatic and modest answer, but how does he feel to be the first SoCal-raised player of *significant importance* to play for the kings? To put it in Jesse-and-his-*cough*-father’s vernacular, how does it feel to be the first local-boy “real king”? I think this is actually a really important milestone in the history of the franchise as it’s an indicator that it’s influence on the community is tangible.
• can you ask him about his famous hit against Chara? From what I vaguely remember, it was either his first NHL game or really early into his career. I’m sure he was trying to make an impression, but I’d love to hear him reminisce about taking on the big man!
• excluding any guys he’s gotten to play with in LA, who were his favorite Kings players to watch when he was a fan. Also, what season did he start watching Kings games/became a fan?
