I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.

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

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.

Right now, I'm standing behind the glass, and I guess that's a metaphor for how my life will be going forward.

I'm not playing for lack of options. But this is such a fleeting thing. When I'm done, I'm never, ever going to be able to come back to it. I know Vancouver is my last go.

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

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