Who has played the biggest role in getting you to centralization?
“My parents. They have been my biggest supporters throughout my entire career. They were the ones that were at the rink every night driving me to practice or cheering me on during my games, and pushed me to be better on and off the ice. I couldn't have done it without their support and guidance. They are my No. 1 fans and I appreciate all the time and money they put forth for my hockey career.”

When did you decide you wanted to play for Team Canada?
“I first decided I wanted to play for Team Canada when I was sitting with my family watching Canada’s Women's Olympic Team win gold in Salt Lake City in 2002. I remember watching how truly happy they all were receiving their medals and I knew that was something I wanted to accomplish one day. I set a goal from then on that I wanted to represent my country and hopefully win a gold medal for Canada.”

What is the most important thing hockey has given you?
“Two things – an Ivy League education from Cornell University, and life-long friendships. I never would have had the opportunity to play for an Ivy League school or met all the wonderful, amazing people I have met over the years if it weren't for my passion for hockey. Hockey has given me so much in life and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to play the game.”
