NHL ALL-STAR WEEKEND


January 19, 1996


Paul Kariya


BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

Q. Personally, who has been the biggest influence on your career so far?

PAUL KARIYA: That is a tough question. I couldn't give you one person.

Q. How about a combination of a couple?

PAUL KARIYA: I mean, all the coaches that -- everyone has been great.

Q. Do you have any words for your hometown on the north shore of Vancouver, any message to kids?

PAUL KARIYA: I obviously would like to say hi to all my family and friends there. I hope they enjoy the game. I think in terms of how to get here, it is a lot of hard work and dedication to what we are doing. As long as you enjoy yourself and you enjoy doing what you are doing, and I think you evolve sooner or later, you get to a place like this.

Q. When did you realize that you would be in the NHL?

PAUL KARIYA: Always a question mark in my mind because of my size or lack of strengths, whatever they were saying. But I think once I got to the University of Maine and I got drafted and I realized. I am at least going to get an opportunity to play Friday and show myself that I can play.
