One-on-one

As part of a new regular feature in The Gazette, Kevin Mio sits down with Christopher Higgins for a one-on-one conversation that deals with everything from Montreal bagels to what career path he would have followed had he not become an NHL player.

Here's a sample of what Higgins, drafted 14th overall by the Canadiens in 2002, has to say:

What makes you successful at what you do?
"I think it's just probably passion. I love playing and I love working on the game and becoming a better player and seeing myself be a better player."

Who's better at yoga, you or Mike Komisarek?
"I don't know, we're both pretty terrible (laughs). It's comical to see a couple of grown men stretching and as stiff as we are."

Canadiens forward Michael Ryder credits his parents for his career in the NHL. Habs Inside/Out puckcast moderator and contributor Kevin Mio discovers this, and a lot more, in his One-On-One question-and-answer feature. See also Kevin's most recent sitdown with Canadiens defenceman Mike Komisarek.

Editor's note: This is the first in what will be a regular feature as The Gazette's Kevin Mio sits down one-on-one with members of the Canadiens - and some of their opponents - for interviews dealing with a wide variety of topics. Mio gets things started with Mike Komisarek, as the 6-foot-4, 240-pound defenceman discusses topics ranging from yoga to his favourite place to eat in Montreal.
