I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.

I still love hockey. It's just I'm at a different stage of my life and I think I'm just ready to grow in other ways outside of just being a hockey player.

As a veteran, you're a little more poised on that mental side. But athletically, I didn't really think I could get better.

The more I've done work with the IOC the more I've come to realize I'm really excited about this, the work that I'm doing and the impact that I can have if I'm fully committed to it.

I'm able to give a voice to the athletes around the world - use my degree for something other than the power play.

There were no women's players I knew of. I didn't even know women's hockey existed.

I wish I could play the whole game and come back tomorrow.
