“My passion
for the game of hockey started at a young age. One of the best
things about the sport is that each time I step on the ice, it
always feels the same. It brings me back to the excitement and
happiness I had as a young girl, playing with my friends. The
challenges of the sport, the intensity of the competition and the
great friendships formed from being a part of a team is what drives
my passion. If I can pass anything on to young girls playing
hockey, I want it to be my love of the game.”

“I have played hockey for 27
years and my most memorable moment is the last 10 seconds of
the final game in Salt Lake City at the 2002 Winter Olympic,
realizing that we were going to win the first gold medal in
hockey for Canada in 50 years. Hockey has been a true
learning experience for me. It provides with as much fun and
enjoyment now as it did when I first started. It has always
been about being with a group of people who enjoyed
something as much as I did. Hockey is about peaks and
valleys, excitement and sometimes even disappointment.
Learning to get through the good and the bad is what makes
you successful. I have experienced this throughout my entire
career playing minor hockey in Cornwall, at the University
of Toronto, with the Brampton Thunder and then into my 10
year career with Team Canada. I never thought that this
sport would bring me where to where I am today.
I have 3 World
Championships, 2 Olympic medals, the places I’ve traveled
and the people that I have met along the way, I will never
forget. I have made friendships that will last forever and I
am grateful to have had the opportunity to have played for
my country while doing all of this. Hockey is what I
attribute to who I am today and the person I’ve become. I
realize that it’s not only a sport and a time to have fun,
it’s about learning how to work with other people, being a
team and most of all learning who I am and becoming a better
person.” |
