Here's a look at some of the memorable moments beginning in January 2007:
- Backstops Canada to its third consecutive world junior championship gold medal.
- He's named the tournament's most valuable player, its top goalie, and was selected to the all-star team.
- Returns to his major-junior Western Hockey League Tri-City Americans, leading them to a franchise record for victories in a season.
- Named to the WHL Western Conference first all-star team, wins the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's top goalie and is named the Canadian Hockey League's goalie of the year.
