# Arthur Kaliyev

I just went out for a skate and it was all good. Ever since then I played every day.

Obviously I wanted to play hockey way more than school. I didn’t like school, I hated school growing up.

It was pretty funny. Growing up you’d never think you’d be playing against them one day, so that was pretty special. I thought ‘wow, I grew up watching [Patrick Kane] when I was a kid.’ He was one of the best players and I would never expect to play against him in the future.

Every year we go to [the US Open] and it’s really fun. I think it’s one of my favorite tournaments outside of hockey.

I don’t think we ever thought we would be two high-level athletes, we were just going day-by-day, work hard and see where it takes us. I’m glad it worked out.
