But inside of me I knew that the Olympics were still there. I was still young enough. I knew that once I transitioned out of hockey, it would be really hard to go back.

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

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.

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

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

The Women's Sports Foundation holds a unique position in developing opportunities for girls and women of all abilities to be active whether recreationally or competitively, and I'm excited to help lead the organization to impact even more lives. It is an honor to continue to build the legacy created by Billie Jean King and all of our leaders.

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