Peggy Johnson, Erik Johnson's mom
"I would say when he got drafted [in 2006]. We were in Vancouver, [British Columbia], it was kind of unexpected and it was such an overwhelming experience. We felt so grateful and were kind of in awe of the whole experience."

"In 2020, Jamie was selected to play on Team Canada for the World Juniors. He was the youngest player to do so in like 20 years. In the semifinal against Finland, Jamie scored his first goal of the tournament.

"But what was so exciting is for the first time in his hockey career, Jamie celebrated the goal. He’s usually really low-key and doesn’t acknowledge scoring goals but he fist-pumped and he cheered with his teammates and that was great see."

Tracy Tippett, Owen Tippett's mom
"I think it was traveling in the car between tournaments and games and it was our time to just chill out, listen to some crazy music, have some fun, and have some great conversations."
