I have enough muscle already. Now I want to use it in more efficient ways.

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

That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.

I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.

I feel honored and privileged to have represented the USA program over the past 16 years. USA Hockey will always be a part of me and I will cherish the experiences and memories with this team.

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