- Is the brother of Chicago Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews and credits his brother for having had the most influence on his career – “we always used to play together on the outdoor rink and he’s always been there to help me better my game."
- Played his minor hockey for the Dakota Lancers, St. Vital Victorians and the Winnipeg Warriors and started playing hockey at the age of four – “once my brother started playing I wanted to be just like him and play as well."
- Patterns his game after Ottawa’s Dany Heatley – “he is strong on the puck and has a very good sense for the game."
- His pre-game routing includes taking a cold shower before getting dressed and he has worn number 10 since he was little.
- His most memorable hockey moment was winning nationals – “it was the best feeling ever working so hard all year and finally accomplishing our goal”.
- The most embarrassing song on his iPod is “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie and if he could be in any one movie he would be in Anchorman.
- If he could invite any three people to dinner he would choose: Will Ferrell, Sidney Crosby and Tiger Woods.
