Who has played the biggest role in getting you to centralization?
“My family has always played a major role in helping me reach my goals and this centralization is no different. I would also say that a lot of medical staff (physio, osteo, doctors) played a big part in helping me get healthy. I am grateful for the positive people I have in my life.”

When did you decide you wanted to play for Team Canada?
“The first time I watched Canada’s National Women’s Team was in 1998. Soon after that, I started to dream of one day playing for Canada.”

What is the most important thing hockey has given you?
“Hockey has given me a lot. I think the most important thing it has taught me is to never give up and to always push yourself to be a better athlete and person.”
