- SpouseKati Vienneau(? - April 24, 2017) (his death, 2 children)
- Got into a fight on the ice with another player who picked on him and other guys during tryouts for Miracle (2004). He apologized to director Gavin O'Connor afterwards, to which Gavin responded, "No, that was good," and cast him as Jack O'Callahan, the defenseman dubbed "the first one to drop his gloves.".
- Served in the US Army. Attended basic training in Ft. Benning Georgia in 2010.
- His father Ed, who was the assistant principal and hockey coach at Holliston High School, suffered a near-fatal stroke in 1993 that left him temporarily paralyzed and mute for three years. After years of rehab, he was able to walk and talk (at a slower pace) again.
- His father taught him how to skate and play hockey from the moment he could walk, while his sisters learned how to figure skate.
- Was recruited to play hockey by Boston University, University of Maine and University of New Hampshire before ultimately deciding on Maine.
- [on his movie debut in Miracle (2004)] It's always been my intention to pursue an acting career. Fortunately, my hockey background helped open the door for me to do that.
- [on being cast in Miracle (2004)] I was working on this fishing boat trapping eels before I got cast in this movie, so I felt like I was stepping off a boat and into a dream.
