Who has played the biggest role in getting you to centralization?
“I think my family has a big part in it. My brother always played an important role in my career and he always pushed me to be better every day. I am so lucky to have so many amazing people around me. I have such a great group of friends and mentors that help me and challenge me every day.”

When did you decide you wanted to play for Team Canada?
“In 2002, when I was watching the Olympics with my mom. I was watching the gold medal game and it was an amazing game. I remember Kim St-Pierre making unbelievable saves, and Caroline Ouellette, Jayna Hefford and Cassie Campbell and the rest of the team just playing outstanding. That was the spark, and I started dreaming of playing for the national team.”

What is the most important thing hockey has given you?
“There are so many things that hockey has given me – friendships that last a lifetime, work ethic and hard work in my day-to-day life, discipline, balance and a reminder to have fun in everything I do.”
