“I’m a huge Georges St-Pierre fan. I think all Canadians are. We’re really looking forward to see him back. I think he will come back. He may even come back in 2014, who knows? But one of the reasons we’re having this press conference and talking about the different things that we’re doing is because we will continue to move on.”

“There’s a lot of exciting things that we’re doing to make sure the sport continues to grow, that our athletes continue to develop and while we’d love to see Georges back, and at some point we will, we’ll move on.”
